particular points on which his Association would like guidance.
3. I pointed out that in general we should discourage anything which
could be interpreted as a mark of recognition of the Formosan
delegation, who would describe themselves as the "delegation of the
Republic of China". This would include the flying of flags or the
presentation of Formosan delegates to Royalty or to Ministers. On the
other hand as the ConferICE was clearly connected with trade we would
normally try to be forthcoming as possible within the limit- ations
imposed by our recognition of Communist Chins.
In reply to a question I said that it would not be possible to make any
forecast about our attitude to- wards visas until we knew the
composition of the Formosan deleg tion.
4. I made it clear that I could not speak for East Germany but agreed to
consult those concerne hon
we had heard from Kr. Jackson in writing.

7 April about the British Consul in Tansui. I have written to our
enquirer.

FOREIGN OFFICE, 8.#.1.
7 April, 1967.
Please will you refer to your letter 1002 of 22 March to Mess about the
relations of the British Censulate in Tasauf with the National
authorities in Taiwan.
2. The Consulate in Tamaui has relations only with the Provincial
authorities in Taiwan. Because we do not recognise the claim of the
Nationalist authorities to be the goverment of China, members of the
Consulate staff are precluded from having any dealing with the
"Government of the Republic of China", nor can they attend any functions
arranged by the Nationalist author- ities.
3. In replying to Mr. O'Hare, I would suggest that you merely say that
H.N.G. do not recognise the Rationalist authorities as the Government of
China ner do they have diplomatic relations with them, and that the
British Consulate at Taiwan, which has been there for many years, is
accredited only to the Provincial authorities on the island and is
responsible for the pretection of the interests of British residents and
related matters, I do not think that you should be drawn into a
discussion of the mlations between the Consulate and the various
authorities on Taivan nor about our policy on the visits of Formosans to
the United Kingdom which for your personal information is given in the
attached letter. There is of course no objection to passing on the name
and address of the Consul in Tamsui and any other factual information
which you baya on trade etc.
