Approaches by the Nationalist Chinese
to British Government Departments
A number of cases have been brought to our attention recently in which
Whitehall Departments have been requested to receive official visitors
from Formosa or to arrange programmes of visits for There are two such

Development Centre in Rotterdam approached a subsidiary agency of the
Board of Trade to ask them to arrange a programme to enable 7

we subsequently decided to refuse visas for this party (see file FCN
22/1 below).
2. We should now perhaps consider whether the time has come to warn
Departments in Whitehall of the possibility that they may be approached
in thie manner by Nationalist organisations and to tell them to refuse
to help Nationalist officials in such cases and to seek our advice about
other requests involving quasi-official visitors and other border- line
cases.
3. I must say that I hesitate to go through the motions of such a formal
warning because I am not entirely convinced that the incidence of such
approaches of this type by the Nationalists warrants it at this stage.
In recent months we only know of the cases mentioned above (1.e. three
in all). All the Departments concerned consulted us before taking
action. It is, however, just possible that another Department would fix
up a programme for a Nationalist official without realising the

Our Consulate in Tamsui first informed us of this proposed visit last
September. As you will see from their letter of 20 September all seven
of the party were Formosan officials, five from the Provincial
Government and two from an organ of the Central Nation- alist
Government. The party were on a tour of a number of countries to study
industrial estate development.
