Red China Seeks Money From Abroad as Refugee Flow Slows
Hong Kong reports that while refugee exodus from Red China has declined, money sent by relatives in China to family abroad has surged.

Many Hong Kong residents say letters begging for funds amount to blackmail, with parcels of food and money diverted to support cadres and family members in China. The crackdown at borders and the Bamboo Curtain affects remittance patterns and the timing of New Year transfers, with estimates around sixteen million dollars sent during the holiday period.
