Dear John to 20/0
I have seen a copy of Garside's letter to you of 17 June about Keng
Piao's appointment as Chinese Ambassador to Albania.
2. During my time in Peking it was not much given to the British Chargé
d'Affaires to hobnob with Vice Ministers whom I normally saw only for
the purpose of having a strip torn off me. I saw Keng Piao on one or two
such occasions and my impression of him certainly confirms what Garside
writes about his versatility and practical gifts which were in sharp
contrast with the characteristics of most of the others.
3. My belief, and I confess that this is mainly based on hearsay
evidence, is that Keng Piao's great days were when he was Chinese
Ambassador to Pakistan. I have always been led to regard him as the
architect, or at least the very efficient executant, of the great anti-
Indian tease when Sino-Fakistani relations flowered in the late 1950s
and early 1960s leading up to a series of state visits and the
conclusion of Raza's frontier treaty.
4. I do not know how Keng Piao has fared during the Cultural Revolution.
However, as of five years ago, he was a formidable practitioner and I
should guess that it is not coincidental that he should now turn up in
Tirana.

I enclose a copy of the customary exchange of letters with the new
Chinese Ambassador who has presented his letters of credence to The King
of Sweden.
2. The Chinese letter contains no reference to relations between our two
Missions, let alone relations between our two countries. I do not know
whether this is intended to mark the fact that relations between the
Chinese Embassy in Stockholm and ourselves have been suspended since the
departure of the former Ambassador in 1967, or whether it reflects the
exceptional nature of the relations between the Government of the
People's Republic of China and H.M.G; if the latter, there will no doubt
be a similar omission in the Notes addressed to H.M. Representatives
throughout the world. I report the matter as being of possible interest
to the experts.
3.
My French colleague tells me that Mr. Wang Tung has already asked him
for an appointment. General Puget intends to ask the Chinese whether he
has already called on the British Ambassador, who is considerably the
senior. I shall not be surprised if I am among the last the Chinese asks
to call on.

Return of Chinese Ambassadors
Since David Laughton's letter of 11 June,the ambassadors listed below in
my para. 4 have left Peking for their posts. We reported the departure
of the new ambassadors to Sweden and Rumania in our tel No. 369 of 18
June. We do not intend to telegraph news of any further departures, but
will provide a round-up periodically by Bag to keep the record up to
date.
2. The Swedes' reticence about the appointment of the new Chinese
Ambassader apparently stommed largely from the fact that the Swedish
Ambassador was not in Peking at the time and they did not wish to risk
his displeasure! Orjan Berner the Swedish 1st Secretary entertained Hang
Tung to dinner shortly before his departure and it was by all accounts a
very relaxed occasion. Berner told Weng Tung that the King of Sweden was
very interested in Chinese ceramics and would no doubt wish to discuss
the subject with him when ho went to present his credenti.:ls. Wang Tung
replied that he himself knew little about the subject. Perhaps he took
the opportunity of the plane journey to do some honework.
3. We can find no trace of Han Kuang-hua, new Imbassador to Guinea, in
any of our reference books.
4. The latest departures cre:-
Chung Hsi-tung (former .mbassador to Czechoslovakia)
left for Tanzania on 12 June.
Han Kuang-hua (formerly ?)

Thank you for your letter FBC 25/3 of 16 June, about the Chinese
Ambassador's call, which I have shown to Sir Richard Beaumont.
2.
The call was in fact a courtesy one made in return for the Ambassador's
initial call on his Chinese colleague.
3. The Chinese Ambassador was relaxed and friendly during his call (as
he usually is in conversation) but had nothing
of particular interest to say. Although he did not mention this himself,
the Cairo press on 15 June reported that the
Ambassador had called on the Under-Secretary at the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs on the previous day "on the occasion of his transfer". This
report is likely to be correct. When ne called on the Ambassador, Huang
Hua said that so much had happened in China in the last few years that
he felt very out of touch and out of date having stayed in Cairo all
that time.
4. Incidentally, you may like to know that Huang Hua attended a farewell
cocktail party which Sir Harold Beeley gave in January before his
departure.
5. I am copying this letter to Washington and Peking.

China's new Ambassador to lbani EC 25/3
U Tin Lat, the present Burmese Chargé d'Affaire here, has given me a
brief glimpse into the mind which lies behind the public persom of Keng
Piao, China's new Ambassador to Albania, whom he knew when he was in
charge of Protocol in Rangoon in the balmier, pre-Cultural Revolution
days of Sino-Burmese relations.
2. According to U Tin Lat, Keng Piao belongs very definitely to the
pragmatic school of Chinese diplomacy. During his time as Ambassador in
Rangoon he used to take it upon himself to give the Burmese Foreign
Minister and other officials informal, after- dinner, sofa lectures on
how to run Burma's internal political life. In one of the two lectures
which remain clearest in U Tin Lat's mind Keng criticized the radical
nature of General Ne Win's socialist economic policy in 1963/64; Keng
not only advocated a more gradual process of nationalization than Ne Win
was carrying out but even advised the Burmese not to take over the
industrial concerns which were in the hands of Burmese, Indian and
Chinese capitalists, saying that whereas businessmen might respond to a
socialist government by transferring their funds, by hook or by crook to
other countries, industrialists had their capital tied up in factory
buildings and plant which they could not move out of the country. The
other lecture which U Tin Lat remembers was how to treat the traditional
leaders of ethnic minorities. Citing what he claimed to be Chinese
experience and practice he said that the most effective end politically
wise technique for destroying the power of minority chiefs was to
"invite" them to leave their tribal areas and establish themselves as
residents of the capital. The Government would provide luxurious houses,
servants, cars and a reasonable income, and feed any moral weaknesses
which they might discover in the leaders (opium to the opium addicts,
girls
In a generation, or boys according to inclination). Keng said, the
traditional leaders would have lost touch with their peoples and thus
their power base
General Ne Win would have been destroyed for ever.

and his ministers, as is well known paid no heed to Keng's advice, The
nationalisation programme continued at break-neck speed and the minority
chiefs were firmly locked away in Mingaladon jail.
3. As Kong will be on an entirely different wicket in Albania and the
Cultural Revolution will have left its mark on him, his role as the
candid friend may be somewhat different, but possibly he will remain
equally forthright.

Chinese Ambassadore
From the copy of the 1964 Leading Personalities Report available to you,
you will already have tracked down the careers of most of the Chinese
Ambassadors now appointed, remppointed or about to be appointed. An
encouragement (as our Association would be quick to point out) to see
the old professionals still on the job. Only three are not mentioned in
the report: Chang T'ung (Pakistan), Wang Tung (Sweden,
thang prospectively) and K'ang Mao-chao (Cambodia). The first is already
known to you (your telegram No. 338) but you may like to know that Wang
was Chargé d'Affaires a.i. in Tirana in 1954 and later played the same
role in Bucharest from 1964-7 with the rank of Counsellor. K'ang was
Chargé d'Affaires a.i. in Belgrade in 1964, having previously been
Vice-Director of the Information Department of the NFA. He has also
served in Kabul and New Delhi (as Cultural Counsellor).
2. Any further gossip on these characters from your end would be
welcomed.
