這幾年来,美國駐香港領事館不斷地增加工作人員.到今年十月爲止,美國駐香港領事館的人員已增加到一百十五人,其中包括一個總領事、九個領事和二十個副領事,約佔在香港的美國人總數的十分之一.這種罕有的情況引起了人們的注意:美國當局究竟爲甚麽要派遣這麽多的外交官司員到香港去呢?這些外交官員究竟在香港進行些甚麽活動呢? In recent years, the U.S. consulate in Hong Kong has continuously increased its staff.

Are these diplomats working in Hong Kong? What kind of activities?
