The first mention of the "withdrawal" imagine part of 1966, the "cultural revolution" in mainland China after the outbreak, gradually spread to Hong Kong. Many left the red guards, learning the Mainland with Mao quotations, shouting slogans, street demonstrations, aroused great colonial authorities in the United Kingdom. To suppress workers ' movement, the colonial authorities made with hands, causing large numbers of civilian casualties. The bloody massacre occurred, due to the fear that the Chinese Government will retaliate, the United Kingdom Government began to consider withdrawal of Hong Kong. In 1967, the United Kingdom Government tabled a document known as the "invasion" of the Chinese army, the United Kingdom should be "partially evacuate Kong", that the colonial Government to withdraw the relevant personnel. 1967 17 may, in a letter to then-Governor trench of the Telegraph, United Kingdom Minister for Foreign Affairs clearly indicates that "perhaps we withdraw our time has come." In the next two years, due to fear of instability and uncertainty of the handover of Hong Kong, many Hong Kong people started selling off property from Hong Kong, Hong Kong's first round of emigration, the economy is therefore subject to a certain extent. Top secret report refer to evacuate proposal in March 1969, United Kingdom Cabinet of Ministers of the Hong Kong Committee drafted a top-secret reports, recommendations and China work together to solve our problems. The report noted that "If you do not take into account China's sovereignty over Hong Kong, any way to solve the question of Hong Kong will not be successful". Therefore, the report considers that the best way is to China that United Kingdom will when the time comes for the complete withdrawal of Hong Kong. The report also recommends rapid informal contacts with China, not later than in the early 1980s with Beijing reaching unity in Hong Kong. Why is eager to United Kingdom and China reached an informal agreement? this is not a colonial conscience, which is based on the interests of the United Kingdom.

January 1967, at the left-wing movement of pressure, the Portuguese Macao Government once made restitution of colonization. Affected by this issue, the left-wing parties require United Kingdom "get out of Hong Kong". In this context, the top secret report pointed out that "in the local communist of chronic stress, we might have had to withdraw. "The report also finds that if China behind support, you should also consider the" serious "withdrawal plans. Because China can use some of the "economic means" to overthrow the rule of the United Kingdom in Hong Kong, such as launching a strike or cut off the supply of food and water. Report even unwarranted speculation that China would take some "political action", such as open encourage the Communist Party and its supporters of violence and Subversion operations. The report states that if this happens, the United Kingdom will not be able to maintain the rule in Hong Kong, had to withdraw. Want to let the police in exile to key moments can withdraw from our security, to avoid any liability, the United Kingdom has gone to great pains people. In the United Kingdom has helped maintain the security of the "hero" �C the Hong Kong Police, United Kingdom rehousing people fixed up crooked brains. At that time, about 2 000 to 3 000 police, including families with 9 million to 13.5 million, the United Kingdom, placing them but a little of burden. So the report recommends that, in addition to helping them overseas looking for a place to the outside, does not assume any responsibility for the "." The report also suspect that the withdrawal of the United Kingdom, the Hong Kong Police loyalty because they are after all. The report also reveals the United Kingdom Government in Hong Kong democracy of hypocrisy. The report shows that the United Kingdom was firmly opposed to free elections in Hong Kong, because they are worried about the left-wing will win the election. This United Kingdom later in Hong Kong's return to the former attitude opposite. By the Governor of Hong Kong in the words of the MacLehose, then at the holding of free elections, "If the communists won, it will be the end of the rule of the United Kingdom. But if the nationalists win, will also bring communism. " Later history shows that the United Kingdom's fears, however, is the "meanest man of degree", the Chinese Government never force attack, nor intends to give its Hong Kong water, China has always hoped that the prosperity and stability, as well as a smooth return to China in 1997. Therefore, the United Kingdom's implementation of these plans to eventually have.
