CONFIDENTIAL
THE CHINESE, AT LEAST IN GUANGZHOU, SEEMED TO BE RESPONSIVE TO
THE IDEA OF A MEETING BUT GAVE NO CONCLUSIVE REPLY. SINCE
RETURNING I HAVE REMINDED THE NCNA THAT WE THINK SUCH A MEETING
SOON WOULD BE USEFUL.
6. WE MUST NOW WAIT TO SEE WHAT FURTHER STEPS THE CHINESE TAKE
TO DEAL WITH THE GENERAL PROBLEM AND WHETHER THEY REACT TO THE
SPECIFIC SUGGESTION OF A MEETING. WE WILL KEEP YOU IN TOUCH WITH
OUR THINKING. MEANWHILE PLEASE DO NOT REFER BACK TO THIS TELEGRAM SINCE WE ARE NOT CIRCULATING HERE THE RECORDS OF
CONVERSATIONS WITH DENG AND HUANG HUA.
