SHIP ASKED TO LEAVE
(N.Z.P.A.-Reuter —Copyright) GENOA, August 14.
Port authorities in Genoa yesterday asked a 13,000-ton Chinese ship, the Li Ming, to leave after the vessel had displayed slogans in English and Chinese.
But its master, Captain Ku Fu-shan, refused. He said he he could not leave until the ship had unloaded 1500 tons of its cargo. The port authorities said they had asked the captain not to display any slogans when the ship docked, because of a similar recent incident in Venice last month involving two Chinese ships.
The two vessels were ordered out of Italian territorial waters after they refused to take down slogans which were considered “propagandistic” by authorities.
