Their yellow but activists were Running Out Of Time<\/a> the 1st dissidents would be arriving from the chinese mainland any day now. Chinese secret agent World Hot Pursuit<\/a> but so far no arrangements were in place to transfer the fugitives to 3rd Party Countries<\/a> western states were reluctant to anger china. Regs and by the i knew a french diplomat in fact the mission they came out and met me in the street and i talked to him i said look we need help because. When these people are brought in to\rhong kong. We need some form of government to get them. Just in a jam he said the australians the canadians and even the americans were stalling for time and we were their only hope that. We would need to consider allowing the dissidents to travel on france because they probably could not remain in hong kong. If you know as you know my immediate answer was yes it was a gut reaction i hadnt thought it through a home over the hill but when you are familiar with the cumbersome workings of bureaucracy dont you choose to play it safe and would rather risk an administrative hitch and choose to delay such a matter to do. The french Consul General<\/a> was really sort of the. The only world. Joe camel time made a decision with wide ranging implications. In hong kong he was the only diplomat willing to take a risk to put his career on the line france could pay a high price for his decision 1st he confided in his Press Attache<\/a> crosswalk 1st of all. Though they are as sore as well this was a cry for help that we could neither respond to nor ignore the law or decision was spontaneous the liquid he was in line with my own deepest convictions are all human life in higher regard than attack they are given when a thought. All points you make such a decision because you are listening to your heart liquid and are conscious of history of. The prodemocracy activists in hong kong france is not was an important victory bad had a new ally\ra western ally. The network was now complete. And they continued on grass to many chinese cities operatives in hong kong prepared for the arrival of the 1st diffidence. To prepare the most dangerous part of their escape the sea crossing from Mainland China<\/a> organizers used a code derived from medical terms. If a dissident was held up by Police Informant<\/a> spoke of arthritis of scapegoating to plan was described by the code word heart disease. After a 2000 Kilometer Journey Work<\/a> i she waited on the shore scouring the sea for a light signal from a boat that would smog. Out of china 2 attempts had already failed i learned as\rmuch later they said this is going to be the last attempt. If they become much more then gers because the Chinese Authority<\/a> has already realised has alerted that i could be there and they have deployed much have year. Border patrol. Including helicopters so as to work. I was at the seashore 9 oclock no boat. 930 no boat. 10 oclock no boat. But 1035. Agreed a signal appear on the horizon and i see. His flashlight and i say wow theyre here wow great and i forgot to flashback and they say were ok yes i have\rsupposed to flash back and i did. And then you flashed back again so. I start to. Walk into the water walk toward the light that time at that moment i turn my head back and look at trying again. And i think i know stepping into what i dont know when would i be able to touch that soil again. What size chunk all the time had also come to leave china yes kate one afternoon on board a smugglers bunch hidden with dissidents behind a truck door chinese spies were already infiltrating the Smuggling Network<\/a> and then traps. Was stuck in Southern China<\/a> the accomplices assigned to escort her never arrived. I thought it was there are several members of the network will haunt.
