You asked about the status of the China Press Research Unit in the British Trade Commission in Hong Kong. This is a non-DS operation involving three local officers based in the PSA building in Hong Kong. It was 'looked at' but not inspected during the last inspection of the British Trade Commission. It reports to Peking and elsewhere but not to HKGD. Information Department know about it, so it would be helpful if you could get in touch with them if you have any further enquiries.
