RETURN OF VIETNAMESE REFUGEES TO CHINA
THE 28 VIETNAMESE REFUGEES WHO CAME ILLEGALLY FROM CHINA ON 16 FEBRUARY (SEE APA'S LETTER OF 7 MARCH 1981 TO STITT, SEAD) WERE RETURNED TO CHINA THIS AFTERNOON. ON THIS OCCASION THE NORMAL REPATRIATION ARRANGEMENTS AT THE BORDER FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WERE USED, BUT ONLY AFTER INVESTIGATIONS HAD BEEN COMPLETED ON THE
CHINESE SIDE.
2. TWO OTHER BOATS HAVE ARRIVED SO FAR THIS YEAR WITH REFUGEES
SUSPECTED OF HAVING BEEN SETTLED IN CHINA. DETAILS OF BOTH HAVE
BEEN PASSED TO THE NCNA. IN ONE CASE THE REFUGEES HAVE STUCK TO
AN IMPLAUSIBLE STORY OF DIRECT ARRIVAL. THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT
THE OTHER BOAT, FROM DAWANG FARM IN GUANGDONG, WHICH INCLUDED 2 DOUBLE BACKERS.
