ANTI-BRITISH MOVEMENT IN HONG KONG

༢ང་ (ཚ་ opinion)
Mr Royle drew to the attention of Sir Leslie Monson
a report in the "Daily Telegraph" of 17 March 1972 about
the steady growth of "an anti-British movement among
some young Chinese in Hong Kong". He asked us to
consult the Governor.

to thank them.

The main points of this paper may be summarised
as follows :-
History
Student agitation in the Colony is a relatively
new phenomenon. After the War most young people
were too busy working for a bare living or
studying hard By 1966, there was evidence of
some youthful discontent but this was overtaken
and submerged in the more serious communist-
inspired confrontation of 1967. The current
"new left" movement is seen as starting in 1969
