1. In September and October 1952 Chinese Communist controls for aliens in
Shanghai included,the following measures:
a. Soviet nationals who entered or left Shanghai on official duties were
to register only with the Alien Section of the East China Military
and Administrative Committee and the Foreign Affairs Section of the
Shanghai Military Control Commission. The Public Security Bureau did not
register or inspect Soviet nationals, who were free to move about and
were not watched. White Russians, however, were required to register
with the Public Security Bureau and were watched in their activities,
which were limited in many ways.
b. Nationals of countries which had diplomatic relations with the Chinese
Communists, such as India, Burma Korea, Czechoslovakia, and others,
had to register with the Public $eeurity Bureau, and through it, with
the Foreign Affairs Section of the Shanghai Military Control Commission.
Their activities and visits were arranged for them by the Foreign
Affairs Section. All nationals who abided by the Communist laws and
who regularly paid their taxes were allowed to remain in business in
designated areas e They were, however, not allowed to buy goods at the
exchange exhibits.
