REGISTRY Action Taken
1. WE HAVE HAD OUR ATTENTION DRAWN TO AN INTERESTING POEM ON HONG
KONG BY AI QING PUBLISHED IN THE PEOPLE'S DAILY ON 28 MARCH. DESPITE SOME CRITICAL COMMENTS ON MAMMON, IT FINISHES WITH PRAISE FOR HONG
KONG'S ROLE AS A BRIDGE TO THE WORLD AND THE WEALTH IT HAS WON FOR
CHINA.
2. IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO KNOW WHAT SIGNIFANCE YOU ATTACH
TO THE PUBLICATION OF SUCH A POEM JUST BEFORE THE SECRETARY OF
STATE'S VISIT TO CHINA.
