CHAPTER 2

THE NATURE OF THE THREAT TO HONG KONG'S

INTERNAL SECURITY AN OVERVIEW

-

This Chapter gives a brief assessment

of the factors which might lead to

disorder in Hong Kong.

It does not speculate upon

the possible pattern of disturbances

that is to say, whether they would be confined to riots, strikes and

other action designed to disrupt daily life, protest marches and so on,

or whether sabotage and terrorist

bombings etc. have to be anticipated.

A worthwhile assessment of this

aspect of the threat could only be

made as an emergency started to evolve.
