Chinese might welcome a rundown of Hong Kong, through lack of new investment, long after IMG had decided that the moment was ripe to start talking.
It seems unlikely that Mr. Heath would get anything but generalities from Chou En-lai. But I suggest that it would be worth his while to respond to any suggestion that the time was not ripe to discuss the future of Hong Kong with a statement that this was so, but that the time will come when IMG will, in all probability, wish to take up the matter.
