YOUR TELEGRAM NUMBER 15% HONG KONG CHINA COMMUNICATIONS.
1. GENERALLY SPEAKING I WOULD HOPE THAT HONG KONG WAS KEPT WELL TO THE
BACKGROUND IN YOUR INITIAL TALKS. WE HAVE NO REQUIREMENT OF ANY REAL
IMPORTANCE TO ASK FROM THE CHINESE, AND IN CONSEQUENCE ARE MORE
CONCERNED AT THE MOMENT TO AVOID THE CHINESE REQUIRING ANYTHING FROM
HONG KONG.
2. AS WE SEE IT RAIL PASSENGER LINKS BETWEEN CANTON AND HONG KONG ARE
THE LEAST IMPORTANT OF OUR COMMUNICATIONS BUT THE PRESENT SCHEDULE
BETWEEN CANTON AND SHUM CHUN IS RIDICULOUSLY INCONVENIENT TO PASSENGERS.
WE AGREED WITH DENSON (MADDOCKS LETTER OF 18 MAY TO MORGAN) THAT THE
MISSION WOULD SUGGEST WIEN POSSIBLE AN IMPROVEMENT ON A PERSONAL
INFORMAL BASIS. THE ITEM DOES NOT APPEAR IN THE LIST OF MATTERS TO BE
TAKEN UP AFTER THE EXCHANGE OF ADASSADORS (MORGAN'S LETTER OF 26
NOVEMBER 1971 TO SAMUEL) AND WE SUGGEST THAT IN VIEW OF ITS UNIMPORTANCE
IT SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN UP THIS WEEK, A RESCHEDULING ON THE CHINESE SIDE
WOULD HOT INCONVENIENCE US BECAUSE WE RUN A REGULAR, ROUCHLY HOURLY
SERVICE LO WU KOWLOOIT. IN ANY CASE IT WOULD BE BETTER TO START THIS
OFF, IF WE DO, ON A TECHNICAL DASIS BETWEEN THE TWO RAILWAY MANAGERS. IN
ANY CASE THE REAL ANSWER LIES IN

3. OF THE THREE ITEMS THAT DIRECTLY CONCERN HONG KONG IN THE LIST IN
MORGAN'S LETTER UNDER REFERENCE THE CABLE AND WIRELESS REQUEST FOR A
HONG KONG CANTON TELEX LINK HAS BEEN EXPANDED TO INCLUDE OTHER POINTS IN
A LETTER OF 28 JANUARY FROM DAVIES OF CABLE AND WIRELESS, LONDON TO
CHUNG FUCHSIANG (COPIED TO MARCH). I RECARD TELECOMMUNICATIONS AS MORE
IMPORTANT TO HONG KONG THAN THE MACAO HELICOPTER SERVICE. THE CLOSING OF
THE HONG KONG PANK IN SHANGHAI IS THE LEAST IMPORTANT OF THE THREE. BUT
ALL THREE OF THE INTERESTS CONCEPPED WILL NO DOUBT BE BADGERING US FOR
INFORMATION AND
I SHOULD BE GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD FIND AN OPENING TO MENTION ALL THREE
SOMETIRE - NOT NECESSARILY THIS WEEK.
4. OF MUCH MORE POTENTIAL CONVENIENCE TO BOTH HONG KONG AND CHINA, AID
OF MORE SIGNIFICANCE IN NORMALISATION, WOULD BE AN AIR SERVICE HONG
KONG - CANTON WHICH I KNOW KESWICK HAS IT IN HIND TO SUGGEST TO THE
CHINESE. SUBJECT TO HIS VIEWS AND THE FCO'S YOU MIGHT TRY TO SOUND OUT
THE MINISTRY ON THAT POSSIBILITY. AN EXTENSION OF EXISTING ROAD SERVICES
TO CANTON WOULD HOT SERVE HONG KONG AS WELL AS A FEEDER SERVICE RUN WITH
MEDIUM SHORT HAUL AIRCRAFT ON A YORE FREQUENT BASIS- THIS IS WHAT
KESWICK HAS IN HIND.

PERSONAL FOR GOVERNOR.
HONG KONG-CHINA COMMUNICATIONS.
↑ SHALL BE SEEKING AN APPOINTMENT NEXT WEEK WITH THE
DIRECTOR OF WEST EUROPEAN AND AMERICAN DEPARTMENT TO
DISCUSS BILATERAL MATTERS WHICH HAVE REMAINED IN SUSPENSE
DURING THE AMBASSADORIAL NEGOTIATIONS. NOW THAT THEY HAVE DEEN
SUCCESSFULLY CONCLUDED I HOPE WE SHALL BE ABLE TO MAKE PROGRESS
ON AS MANY OF THEM AS POSSIBLE.
2..
IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO KNOW, IN ORDER OF PRIORITY, WHICH
YOU REGARD AS THE MOST URGENT PROBLEMS FROM THE HONG KONG
POINT OF VIEW. COMMUNICATIONS WITH CANTON ARE PRESUMABLY
AMONGST THEM, THOUGH I AM AWARE OF THE NEED NOT TO INVITE
COUNTER-DEMANDS ON GROUNDS OF RECIPROCITY (POLITCICAL ADVISER'S LETTER
CR 14/2221/50 OF 1P MAY). AM I RIGHT IN THINKING THAT
THERE WOULD BE NO DIFFICULTY IN REARRANGING TRAIN LINKS BETWEEN
KOWLOON AND LOWU TO FIT IN WITH RESCHEDULED SERVICES PETWEEN
CANTON AND SHUM CHUN, ASSUMING THE CHINESE CAN BE PREVAILED
UPON TO AGREE?

O Mile 29.2 see ☹} 3/m
Thank you for your letter of 4 February. The Governor agrees that the
advice indicated in paragraph 3 would be appropriate. If Sir Sik-nin
raises the subject he will speak on those lines but he would not propose
to take the initiative in raising the subject, partly because he would
not want to imply that he was positively encouraging Sir Sik-nin to go
to China.

4 February 1972
SIR SIK WIN CHAU
John Keswick recently invited Mr Royle to dinner with Sir Sik Xin Chan.
2. In the course of the evening Bir Bik Xin gave Mr Royle the attached
piece of paper. He alleged that it had been given him by a friend in Mr
Fukuda's office and that it constituted an agreement which had been
reached between the Japanese and the Americans before Mr Kissinger's
visit to Peking. It all seens pretty dubious to me.
3.
Bir Sik Nin also told Mr Royle that he had been invited to visit China.
He was nevertheless wary about his personal safety and would only agree
to go if he received a personal invitation signed by Chou En-lal. Mr
Royle wondered whether the Governor might think it appropriate to
reassure Sir Sik Nin that, if a visa vere forthcoming, he would be well
looked after. Moreover, Cheu En-lai would be most unlikely to send an
invitation of this kind to someone other than a protecol equal.
