36. The policies advanced in this paper nevertheless involve some adjustment in our relations with Hong Kong which could well be resented there. Without corrective measures this could significantly affect the chances of the general strategy. Indeed it could lead to a growth of the anti-British sentiment which could be corrosive of the Colonial link `essential for Hong Kong's existence. It will be necessary to combat this by promoting a wide understanding locally of our overall policy for the Colony and by developing a greater awareness among Hong Kong Government officials of their role in that overall policy. It will also be necessary to counter general anti-British sentiment by an active information policy. (Opinions on the extent of this differ: but anti-Whitehall and anti-British feelings generally are sufficiently widespread for them to be remarked upon by influential visitors to the Colony.)
37. There is a need to continue strongly to advocate Hong Kong's case here and to counter ill-informed criticism of conditions in the Colony. No policy will convince those critics who for idealistic or ideological motives, or indeed, out of resentment of Hong Kong's competitive power seek to press HMG to enforce change in Hong Kong at a rate faster than the problems allow. But obviously, our ability to convince some responsible critics will depend upon the degree to which the reforms suggested in this Paper are implemented.
