We deem that these films should not be shown in
Hongkong.
Moreover, the socalled Taiwan Film Festival
should be stopped.
Mr. Wang asked me to emphasize that on the pre-
vious occasion, when the notorious film "THE COLDEST
WINTER IN PEKING" was stopped from public showing, it
was shown extensively in private circles. KMT acti-
vities have been rampantly active. Even cigarette
packets for overseas consumption bears KMT propaganda It is also said that several tons of thousands of
sweaters are being made with the bogus flag in front
for activities of the bogus celebration.
Mr. Wang asked me to emphasize that Beijing takes
a very serious view on this matter.

They deem that
not only the notorious films "IF I WERE FOR REAL" and
"IN THE FILES OF SHANGHAI" should not be allowed for
public showing, but the Taiwan Film Festival should be
outlawed. Beijing asks that the Hongkong authorities
should take a very serious consideration on this mat-
ter. If the Festival should be allowed to stage here,
it would hamper the friendly relations existing between
our two sides. They ask the Hongkong Government to
take a very serious consideration on the possible con-
sequences.
