HONG KONG: LOCALISATION OF LAWS: BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS

I attach a copy of Hong Kong telno 892 which asks

whether the People's Republic of China made any reservations

to the 1972 Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons, and on their Destruction when they acceded to the Convention. If they did make any
