TWO ADDITIONAL POINTS CONTAINED IN THE REPORT WE RECEIVED ARE:
·
A THE GROUP OF VIETNAMESE IN BEIHAI HAVE NO BOATS THEMSELVES AND ARE WAITING FOR A CHANCE TO JOIN OR OBTAIN A VESSEL FOR THE JOURNEY TO
HONG KONG:
B. THE ZHANG JIANG GROUP ARE WAITING WHILE THEIR BOATS (REPORTEDLY
NUMBERING 3 TO 6) ARE REPAIRED.
FURTHER COMMENT
2. IF CORRECT THIS INFORMATION SUGGESTS A VERY TOLERANT ATTITUDE BY THE CHINESE AUTHORITIES TOWARDS VIETNAMESE WISHING TO JOURNEY TO HONG KONG AND REINFORCES OUR VIEW OF THE INEFFECTIVENESS OF THEIR
MEASURES.
