China Reds Ask Talks
After Acknowledging
British Recognition
BY the Associated Press

HONG KONG, Jan. 1O.-Com-
munist China acknowledged Brit
ish recognition today. The Reds
said they would like to negotiate
for the opening of diplomatic re-
lations.
1t was the first word from the
Red regime since Britain an
.nounced recognition last Friday.
And it was only a cryptic an
nouncement released by the Of
fetal New China News Agency.
The release said Premier and
Foreign Minister Chou En-lai
has accepted the nomination of
j. c. Hutchison as Britain s
charge d'affaires to negotiate
establishment of diplomatic rela-
tions.
Tough Bargaining Ahead.
Chou has expressed willingness,
it said. to establish relations on
a basis of equality, mutual bene-
fit and respect for territorial
sovereignty-the terms he used
when he first invited international
recognition last October /.
This could mean the British
have some tough bargaining
ahead before full diplomatic re-
lations are formally set up.
For instance. there was no in

ton by Ceylon. Chou expressed
hope she also would send repre-
sentatives to Peiping to carry out
negotiations.
Mr.. Hutchison, accepted by
Chou as charge d'affaires, is
Britains commercial minister in
Marking. He and A. K. Sen, new
ly appointed charge d'affaires for
India. are expected to leave Nam
king soon for Peiping, capital of

renewal or revision of treaties

the mainland to the Island of

The status of Hong Kong will
be one touchy question sure to
