Hong Kong
Sir, —Your article on Hong Kong does not explain what justification there is for Britain to remain in Hong Kong. It was an unequal treaty in) the first place, made when the fighting ability of the i Chinese was at a low ebb. The Chinese may be reluctant to take over the colony, as there is much vice and corruption present, but they cleaned up Shanghai, which was just as great a problem. The Chinese have their own methods, and it is possible that they will wait until the people of Hong Kong want their freedom, and carry out their revolution. Already there are many signs I that this is happening. In I many shops pictures of Chairman Mao are openly displayed. There was an attempt by British police to put down a demonstration by some Hsin Hua news men, but it backfired. The Chinese retaliated by detaining Grey.— Yours, etc., P.J.A. October 23, 1969.
