Addressed to FCO telegram No.66 of 27 January, repeated for information
to The Hague, Washington.
Ky telegram No.60: Defector.
The Dutch inform us that Derksen was called to Ministry of Foreign
Affairs this morning to receive a Note protesting against attitude of
Dutch Government, demanding return of Liao, otherwise Dutch would be
"held responsible for this grave deed". The tone of the interview was
correct.
2. As an opening move this is encouraging, though it [? grp omitted]s
the options open. The Dutch are waiting to see if Chinese publish
anything.

THE HAGUE TELNOS 47 AND 48 TO YOU AND YOUR TELEGRAM NO 39:
DEFECTOR.
I CALLED ON NETHERLANDS CHARGE D'AFFAIRES THIS MORNING IMMEDIATELY ON
RECEIPT OF TELEGRAMS UNDER REFERENCE AND OFFERED ANY ASSISTANCE IF HE
SHOULD NEED IT.
2. DERKSEN SAID NETHERLANDS MINISTRY OF JUSTICE HAD ISSUED A STATEMENT
ON THE CASE AT 4 P.M. LOCAL TIME 24 JANUARY. HE HAS SO FAR HAD NO
CHINESE REACTION OR ANY SUMMONS TO CHINESE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
HE SAID LIAO HAD EARLIER WRITTEN TO NETHERLANDS MINISTRY OF FOREIGN
AFFAIRS SEEKING ASYLUM. THE PRESENT CHINESE CHARGE D'AFFAIRES (AN
ATTACHE) ON BEING INFORMED OF THE DEFECTION HAD ASKED DUTCH NOT TO GRANT
ASYLUM; TO RETURN LIAO, OTHERWISE CHINESE WOULD FEEL BOUND TO TAKE
APPROPRIATE MEASURES; ALSO HE ASKED TO SEE LIAO.
3. DERKSEN AND I THINK IT AN OPEN QUESTION HOW CHINESE WILL RESPOND.
THEY MAY WISH TO SHOW RESTRAINT IN ORDER TO ASSIST THEIR NEW CORRECT
IMAGE (E.G. RESPONSE TO RECENT ATTACK ON CHINESE EMBASSY IN DELHI WAS
MERELY A PROTEST). ON THE OTHER HAND THEY MAY FEEL OBLIGED TO DETER
FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS FROM GRANTING ASYLUM TO FUTURE DEFECTORS AND MAY
DECIDE ON STRONG ACTION PROBABLY BY EXPELLING DERKSEN. HOLDING HIM AS
HOSTAGE SEEMS LESS LIKELY, IN ANY EVENT SINO/DUTCH RELATIONS WILL
PRESUMABLY DETERIORATE AND DUTCH MAY HAVE TO FACE OUR TYPE OF
ADMINISTRATIVE DIFFICULTIES.
4. DERKSEN PROMISED TO KEEP IN TOUCH.

Dear Johns
Rumours of the impending return of some Chinese Ambassadors to their
poets are again circulating here,
2.
The Chinese are said to have assured the Nepalese that Peking intended
to send an Ambassador to that country at the beginning of next year,
They added that Chinese Ambassadors would soon be returning to their
posts, beginning with those countries with which China has friendly
relations.
3.
A Rumanian colleague has noticed that there has been a constant flow of
Chinese customers in a rather superior tailor's shop close to the
Rumanian Embassy during' recent weeks. The Chinese were taking some
pains over the selection of expensive materials. Since this Embassy is
only a few hundred yards from the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
the Rumanian inferred that sartorial preparations were under way for the
redeployment of Chinese diplomata!
4.
I am copying this letter to McLarèn and Ashworth in Hong Kong, Spendlove
in Washington, Hibbert in Singapore, Miss Draycott in IRD, Brewer in
JRD, McKearney in PUSD, Hewitt in Canberra and to Chanceries at Tokyo
and Katmandu.

Addressed to Nairobi tel eren To. 1 of 27 December. Repeated for
information to 700.
Your telegram No. 3: Vices for Chinese Embassy Steff Kerbers.
подре
Because the strange so ding of the endorsement requested by Kenyan
Immigration led us to assume that they had misunderstood the Chinese
request we did not repeat not endorse visas with the words in your
telegram No. 2 of 19 December. It would in any case have been
politically unaise for us to have become involved in telling the Chinese
that their atoff members were going to be under investiretion during the
next three months. It is not our normal practice to state either a
maximum or minimum length of stay for Embassy Personnel when grenting
single entry visas.
2. Would you please inforn Kenyan authorities thet endorsement is not
put on viscs and explain that it seems to us more appropriate that they
should inform Chinese of this time limit, in view of its political
implications.
3. I hope we will not have caused you too much
embarrassment with the Kenyana. We decided against going back to them
before issuing both because there had elready been a long delay and
because African States for whom we issue visas often do not reply at all
to our vise telegrams.
