they are not here to settle.
settled in Hong Kong, I think they would say "we are satisfied
If I could ask the 14,000 already
to be here", but the people in the transit centres of course, they are looking for another solution than to be in the centre.
Well, I was thinking of the people
in the open camps, primarily the ethnic Chinese, maybe they are satisfied to stay?

Well, I think they are happy that
they are allowed to work but I still think that most of them. but I have no percentage would like finally to come to a solution where they can settle with their families and create their own lives, because that is the whole thing.
Okay, there was one last question,

I would like to ask whether the
people in China who are not happy, are they being given the same resettlement opportunities as some other countries of first
asylum?

MR. HARTLING:
Yes, the people who are not satisfied
who would like to go to another place, mostly because they have some relatives in London, in Paris or in San Francisco or wherever
it is, they can, to my best opinion, easily get an exit visa from
China. If they can get an entry visa to the different
countries, that depends on their criteria because can they come
as an immigrant? That depends on family and many, many other things Some have left, some have gone that way but that is
decided by the receiving countries.
I am afraid this is a more philosophical
question, but after ten years of visiting these camps, almost every
refugee I have asked says he wants to go to the United States
