6. THE MOST LIKELY REASONS FOR HONG KONG GETTING MORE REFUGEES FROM
NORTH WIETNAM ARE FIRST THE PREVAILING WEATHER CONDITIONS. T **S
EASHER TO GET FROM NORTH AND CENTRAL VIETNAM TO HONG KONG THAN TO
ELSEWHERE AT THIS TIME OF YEAR. THE RECENT ARRIVALS LEAVE FROM
SUCH PLACES AS CAM PHA, CUA ONG, TRA CO AND MONG CA. THEY MAKE THEIR
JOURNEY TO HONG KONG BY ''HOPPING'' ALONG THE SOUTH CHINA COAST.
THERE ARE REPORTS THAT THE CHINESE AUTHORITIES GAWE THEM FOOD AND
WATER AND HELP THEM ON THEIR WAY. SECOND, THE ODP #MS PROBABLY OF
BETTER HELP TO THOSE WANTING TO LEAVE THIS AREA.
7. HIN SUMMARY THERE ARE A NUMBER OF REASONS WHY REFUGEES ARE COMING
TO HONG KONG. BUT NONE SHED ANY PARTICULAR LIGHT ON THE MINCREASE THM'S YEAR.
