Hong Kong on a point so central to their conception of the nature of the September negotiations as part of the Heads of Agreement could endanger the entire agreement; and,
if the matter then went to higher authority,
would feel it right to re-flighist Hong Kong,
we for our part might feel unable to support
on this point
the rather weak ease you are arguing.
