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.
