1.
We have 'made a number of concessions to the Chinese in an
effort to gain their acceptance of Hong Kong Airways (HKA). The
Chinese are not budging on HKA and the regional routes are now
heavily unbalanced.
2.
We cannot make further concessions. In particular, CAAC
should not operate Shanghai-Hong Kong until the Chinese accept
a Hong Kong based carrier. Can the Governor see a solution
satisfactory to both the Chinese and CPA?

3.
At the next round of talks with the Chinese we have
instructed our delegation not to discuss wider Chinese proposals,
DOT are quite firm that we cannot look at new proposals until
existing agreements are implemented in full.
