Visas for Bank of China officfala

My de la More was

were approached by Mr. Laurence French, proprietor of Far East Trade and
Development, with the claim that Mrs. Sung Kuo-Hua, wife of the Deputy-
Manager of the Bank of Chine in London, had been refused a visa to join
her husband here.

2. Mr. Mallett in Pasport Control Department tells me that no
application for a visa to enter Britain has ever been received from Mrs.
Sung (the record has also been checked with an eye to the possibility of
her having applied under her own name).

3. It is possible that an application made in Peking was not forwarded
because of the breakdown of communications after 22 August. No
applications for mainland Chinese to visit the U.K. have been received
since that time.

4. A more likely possibility is that Mrs. Sung has not actually applied
for a visa in Peking but has anticipated difficulty in obtaining one and
sought a way round the obstacle in acting through Mr. French, Peking
telegram No. 918 reported that H.M. Consul in Peking had indicated to
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that there was a relationship between
the difficulties created by the Chinese regarding Mr. Self and by
ourselves regarding Hr. Yang Shu-ping whose application to come to
London is still being held up.

Hre. Sung was doubtless aware of this and may have concluded that an
approach by her for a visa in the normal way would be refused.

5. Our policy on Bank of China officials as such remains to withhold
approval for two officials who have applied (Yang Shu-p'ing and Yang
Hui-chiu) until Mr. Self is allowed out of Shanghai and

Mr. Robertson allowed in. Plans were made to discuss the problem with
the Chinese in London but were overtaken by the events of 22 August.

I am loth to lose a further hostage in this battle particularly since
Yang Hui Chiu's application now balances the equation.

2.

I agree that his application should not be granted until Self leaves,
but suggest that Yang Shu P'ing's visa should not now be granted until
Self's Deputy Manager's successor Robertson is allowed' in.

Self has not yet obtained his exit permit and investigations into the
Bank's affairs are continuing. I cannot say when these will be
completed.

2.

Consul has indicated to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on at least two
occasions that there is a relationship between Self's exit permit and
Yang's entry visa, This point cannot have escaped the Chinese.
