Outside of the residents who are the international traders and bankers whose skyscraper offices are in Victoria. the average little farmer on the mainland always has had to scratch for a living before Red China came into being. and his lot was considerably worsened when this Chinese market was taken away from him. When the insurmountable barbedwire barrier separated him from a large part of his market. he had an almost impossible task of making a living. At the same time. in addition to the normal 11/2 million souls who lived in the colony. there came another 11/2 million refugees who did not want to live under Red rule. This created an almost insuperable problem which the Hong Kong authorities were illequipped to handle. The net result was unemployment. suffering and altogether a fine breeding ground for Communist activities.
