BRITAIN'S INCREASINGLY BLATANT INCONSISTENCY BETWEEN PROMISE AND PERFORMANCE HAS CREATED GROWING DISTRUST AND SUSPICION AND MANY PEOPLE FEEL THAT ITS REAL INTENTION IS TO UNDERMINE HONGKONG AS A MEANS OF RIDDING ITSELF OF AN UNWANTE AND INCREASINGLY EMBARRASSING RESPONSIBILITY.
IF THIS IS UNTRUE, AS WE HOPE IT IS, BRITAIN MUST MAKE A CONTINUING DEMONSTRATION OF THE FAC BY DEED RATHER THAN EMPTY WORDS,
STAR:
LEGISLATIVE COUNCILLOR JAMES ..U IS RIGHT -- HONGKONG SHOULD NOW CONDUCT A CAMPAIGN IN DRITAN EMPHASIS ING TO THE BRITISH PEOPLE WE ARE A GOOD CUSTOMER OF THEIR COUNTRY.
BRITISH TRADE UNIONS AND TEXTILES VESTED INTERESTS HAVE GIVEN THE PEOPLE OF BRITAIN FAR TOO MUCH HE IMPRESSION OUR TRADE IS ALL ONE WAY.
OUR MARKETS ARE IDE OPEN FOR BRITAIN -- NOT UNDER ANY QUOTA RESTRICTIONS.
AND FOR THE SIZE OF OUR MARKETS, THEY ALREADY ABSORD. MORE FROM STIRAIN THAN OTHER COUNTRIES DO.

MR. WU SUGGESTS HONGKONG'S COMMISSIONER IN BRITAIN, MR. DENIS BRAY, SHOULD NOW TAKE UP THE TASK OF PUBLICISING HONGKONG'S CASE TO THE BRITISH PEOPLE.
MR. WU HAS ALSO FECENTLY SUGGESTED OUR MANUFACTURERS SHOULD SEARCH THE ORLD FOR PARTNERS IN TECHNOLOGY WHO COULD HELP US IMPROVE THE SUALITY AND PANGE OF WHAT WE PRODUCE TO OVERCOME THE RESTRICTIONS AND INCREASING PROTECTIONIST WORLD IS IMPOSING ON US.
IT IS THIS SORT OF COOPERATION THAT COULD HELP OUT RELATIONS WITH BRITAIN IN THE NEW ERA THAT BEGAN WITH THE RECENT EEC NSSTR100 TEXTILES.
THE ERA IN WHICH BRITAIN RECOGNISES NO SPECIAL ECONOMIC 03LIGATIONS AS A DEPENDENCY.
IF THAT COOPERATION CAN SLOWLY BE ACHIEVED THEN THE BITTERNESS CF OUR RECENT EXPERIENCE MAY SOON BE FORGOTTEN IN HONG KONG.
AND THE NEW ERA COULD BE LESS ABASIVE THAN THE PAST.
OVER TO YOU, MR. BRAY.
