Thank you for your letter of 4 November. This episode proved to be a storm in a teacup. It was a ritual Chinese protest about sloppy drafting which failed to distinguish between Hong Kong and countries. The problem was solved by one of the usual drafting devices.

I am most grateful for the copy of the Political Background Brief on Hong Kong and China which I shall, as you suggest give to heads of Hong Kong delegations attending international meetings.
Yours ever
