On 14 February 1950 General RUNG Chao--yuan former divisional oomuander in the 19th Aoute Army and subordinate of TS IAI T4 ing-klai, stated that he planned to leave Ilong Kong in late lebruary for the purpose of visiting overseas Chinese communities in Southeast Asia and discussing with local leaders the possibility of organizing an anti-Communist movement.* He was planning to begin his work in ,Vorth Borneo. KUNG believo that it is essential to organize and propagandize the Chinese in Southeast Asia as soon as possible to combat the influence of TA.Y Koh Kee, who can pretend to speak with authority as the result of his travels and his position in Communist China. 2. Although KUNG previously had only a very small following, his prestige has increased during the past year. The Chinese in Southeast Asia will listen to him because of their eagerness to learn about the situation in China proper. 25X1 3. General KUNG is at present connected with the Young China Party. I Comment. In view of General KUNG's earlier associations, his press activity is surprising. Document is hereby ;radF- : ?`.
