SUART RETURNED ON 26 JUNE AFTER A HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL VISIT.
HE HAS AGREED WITH SU SHIN-CHIEN, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF THE KWANGTUNG
ADMINISTRATION OF COMMUNICATIONS (KAC) TO CONSIDER THE INSTALLATION OF A
CABLE SYSTEM BETWEEN CANTON AND HONG KONG, EACH SIDE TO DO THE WORKS ON
THEIR OWN SIDE OF THE BORDER.
2. SUART EXPECTS THIS TO GO AHEAD. IT SEEMS ALMOST CERTAIN TO HIM THAT
THE CHINESE INTEND TO USE CABLE AND WIRELESS (C AND W) IN HONG KONG AS A
TRANSIT POINT FOR INTERNATIONAL TRAFFIC. THEY SPECIFICALLY ENQUIRED
ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF LEASED CIRCUITS AND TELEX SERVICES ONWARD FROM
HONG KONG AFTER THE CABLE HAS BEEN COMPLETED.
3. THE K A C TEAM WERE TECHNICALLY VERY COMPETENT AND HAD THOUGHT THESE
PROPOSALS THROUGH CLEARLY BEFORE PUTTING THEM TO SUART. THEY ACCEPTED
THE C AND WIRELESS INVITATION FOR A RETURN VISIT WITH EVIDENT PLEASURE
AND GAVE EVERY SIGN THAT THEY INTEND TO COME TO HONG KONG IN 3 OR 4
MONTHS, AFTER THE TYPHOON SEASON. THEY ARE THINKING IN TERMS OF A
TECHNICAL DELEGATION OF 12 OR MORE TO INSPECT
C AND W'S INSTALLATIONS AND FOR GENERAL DISCUSSIONS WITH C AND
W ENGINEERS.
4. SUART HAS REPORTED ON HIS VISIT TO THE DEPUTY MANAGING DIRECTOR OF
CABLE AND WIRELESS IN LONDON. THE RECORD OF HIS AGREEMENT WITH K A C AND
HIS COMMENTS ON IT FOLLOW BY BAG.

VISIT TO PEKING BY POLITICAL ADVISER, HONG KONG
1. Mr Wilford told me yesterday, 21 June, that he was anxious that Mr
Stratton should visit
Feking at an early date after his arrival in Hong Kong. He thought this
might be in late August or early September, but in any case
SOA
before the Secretary of State's visit. Mr Stratton has already been in
touch with Sir Murray
Maclehose about this.

Our
It is difficult to predict what the substantive Chinese
reaction will be to our rejection of their proposal.
decision was, however, predicated on the belief that the Chinese
would probably accept our refusal with reasonable grace. So
for Peking's reaction, as evinced in the course of Mr Royle's
discussions in reking (Peking tel No 523 and Hong Kong tel No
484), has been mild. The Chinese Vice-Minister of Foreign
Affairs has hinted that the Chinese might link the negotiation
of an Air Services Agreement with their proposal; and they may
try to bring public pressures to bear on us. (In this connection
please see the attached extract from the Hong Kong "Star" of
30 May which has just reached us. It seems more than likely
that the Chinese may themselves have leaked their proposal.)
But however the Chinese choose to pursue the matter, I doubt if
they will wish to go so far as to withdraw the Secretary of
State's invitation.

CHINESE OFFICIAL REPRESENTATION IN HONG KONG
1.
The Secretary of State minuted on Hong Kong telegram 23/5.
No 398 of 9 May: "I hope we are getting our Ambassador's
advice urgently". Mr Addis has given us his further views
in Peking telegram No 450 of 17 May. Sir Murray MacLehose
has commented (Hong Kong telegram No 423) on Mr Addis'B
views; the Governor's arguments are, I think, conclusive.
Mr Royle has minuted: "I feel we should stick to our
decision for a clear-cut refusal".
2. In Hong Kong telegram No 424 Sir Murray MacLehose
draws attention to a report
The report, a copy of which is attached,
is clearly important. I agree,
in the light of it, with
the Governor's assessment that a polite but firm refusal
of the Chinese request for official representation in Hong
ĈKong would stand a fair chance of being accepted. I also
agree with him that in communicating our refusal to the
Chinese we should argue the case as little as possible.
A simple but courteous "No" without giving any reasons
would however only invite the Chinese to probe further.
Our response would need to be a little fuller than this.

3. At Mr Royle's meeting at 4.30 pm on 11 May. it was
agreed that the following recommendations should be made
to the Secretary of State:
(i)
We should reject the Chinese proposal without waiting for further
elaboration from them or
considering any counter-proposals. If we delayed
our reply the Chinese might publicise their
proposal, as they did when they last made it in
the 1950s; this would clearly be undesirable.
(ii) Mr Royle should himself inform the Chinese during
his visit to Peking that we are unable to accept
their proposal. The alternative course of action
(to instruct Mr Addis to take action with the
Chinese before Mr Royle's visit) is less desirable.
It would mean that Mr Royle would be open to
counter-attack during his visit; as a matter of
tactics it would be preferable for Mr Royle to
take the initiative in bringing up the issue with
the Chinese rather than to give them an opportunity
to raise it with him.
(ii) Mr Royle should raise the matter with Vice Foreign
Minister Ch'iao Kuan-hua in preference to Ch'i
Feng-fei or Chou En-lai. Ch'iao is easier to talk
to than Ch'i and it is by no means certain that
Mr Royle would be invited to meet Chou En-lai.
(iv) Had Mr Royle not received an invitation to visit
Peking, or if the Chinese had suggested another date,
this would not have affected the need for an early
reply to the Chinese. In these circumstances
/Mr Royle
BECRET COVERING TOP SECRET

Mr Royle would have proposed to speak to the new
Chinese Ambassador soon after his arrival.
It was also agreed at the meeting that the Department should prepare a
form of words for Mr Royle's use in speaking
}
to the Chinese. I attach a draft. It is based on Hong
Kong telegram No 398; but takes into account Hong Kong
telegram No 424. If approved, and subject to any further
comments from Mr Addis or Sir Murray MacLehose, it will
form the basis of the brief on this subject for Mr Royle's
visit to China. I also attach 2 draft telegrams to Peking.
Hong Kong and Indian Ocean Department concur.

TO IMEDIATE FCO TELEGRAM NO 523 OF 1 JUNE INFO ROUTINE HONG KONG (PERS
INAL FOR GOVERNOR) AND WASHINGTON,
FOLLO NG FROM PARLIAMENTARY UNDER-SECRETARY.
MY THREE IPTS
1.
CHINESE REPRESENTATION IN HONG KONG.
TOLD CH 1AQ KUAN-HUA THAT THE SI FUATION IN HONG KONG VAS O IE OF
DELICACY, BUT THAT THE EXISTING ARRANGEMENTS WORKED WELL.
IN OUR VIEW, THE APPOINTMENT OF AN OFFICIAL CHINESE KEPRE ENTATIVE IN
HONG KONG WOULD ADVEI SELY AFFECT THE IMPORTANT ADVANCES ALREADY MADE IN
SINO/BRITISH ¡ELATIONS.
WE DID NOT BELIEVE THAT THE APPOINTMENT WOULD HAVI SUFFICIENTLY
PRACTICAL MENIFIT TO EITHER SIDE TO JUSTIFY THE ISK OF DAMAGING
RELATIONS.
2. CH'IAO SAID THAT THE CHINESE GOVE: IMENT HAD RAISED THE SUBJECT
BECAUSE OF THEIR DESIRE TO HAV: REPRESENTATION OF A KIND RICH COULD DEAL
MORE APPROPRIATE).Y WITH ADMINISTRATIVE PROBLEMS AS THEY AROSE. WE KNEW
CHINA'S FUNDAMENTAL POLICY AND PRINCIPLES IN RELATION TO HONG KONG AND
HE DID NOT PROPOSE TO REHEARSE THESE, I HAD SAID THAT THE PROPOSAL WAS
UNACCEPTABLE-HE COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT THAT. BUT HE WOULD LIKE US TO
VIEW THE CHINESE PROPOSAL IN A WIDER PERSPECTIVE THAN THE ONE WE H/D
CHOSEN. HE ALSO SAID THAT IT WAS ANOMALOUS THAT, WHILE THERI HAD BEEN A
COMMISSIONER IN HONG KONG AT THE TIME OF THE KMT (OVERNMENT, THERE WAS
NO OFFICIAL REPRESENTATION NOW.
CHI
HAD TOLERATED AN IMPERFECT STATE OF AFFAIRS BECAUSE OF THE TATE OF
RELATIONS BETWEEN BRITAIN AND CHINA.
ና
BUT IIE POSITION HAD NOW CHANGED.
3. I REPLIED THAT WE FOUND THE LACK OF AN OFFICIAL CHINESE REPRI
SENTATIVE IN HONG KONG NO IMPEDIMENT IN THE HANDLING OF PRACTICAL
PROBLEMS. FURTHER MORE THERE WAS NOW NO BRITISH REPRI SENTATION IN
EITHER SHANGHAI OR TAIWAN: OFFICIAL REPRES- ENTATION WAS BALANCED.
CH'IO SAID THAT HE HOPED THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT WOULD RECON- SIDE THE
CHINESE PROPOSAL TO WHICH HIS GOVERNMENT ATTACHED GREAT IMPO TANCE. I
TOOK NOTE,
4. AT A LATER STAGE, CH'IAO IMPLIED THAT THE CHINESE MIGHT LINK THE
EGOTIATION OF AN AIR SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THEIR PROPOSAL.

THAT A KEETING MIGHT BE ARI ANGED. HE MAY HAVE HAD SOME SPECIAL
COMMITMENT, THERE WERE SIGNS ON MY LAST EVENING IN PEKING THAT SOL THING
UMUGUAL WAS COING ON.

FEAR OF THE TWO SUPER-POWERS (ESPECIALLY THE SOVIET UNISH) ANY, TO A
