CONFIDENTIAL
The development of the Chinese economy and of our
trading relationship in such a way that Chinese
credit-worthiness is sustained and the growth of Chinese
exports does not damage sectors of British industry.
V.
Residents/Tourists
There are 620 British Residents registered with the
Embassy. The continuing rise in the number of visiting
businessmen and tourists, and the posting of more
skilled technical personnel to China as project business
develops, will increase the demand for consular and
commercial services from our Embassy and
Consulate-General.

I.
CHINESE INTERESTS IN THE UK
Economic
China will continue to look partly to Western Europe,
including the UK, as a source for training expertise,
technology and equipment (including defence equipment)
and as an outlet for its exports. The Chinese have
lobbied for the removal of China from the COCOM list.
II.
Language
The Chinese will value British help with English
language training, partly as a means of access to
science and technology and to facilitate a better under-
standing of international trade and organisations.
