heavily dependent on foreign trade, it is essential that good relations with other territories be maintained. Hong Kong's particular political circumstances also have to be
taken into account. It would not be in Hong Kong's
interest to jeopardize important relationships by allowing
the showing of a film which has the potential to seriously
affect such relations.
