Media Arrangements for Japan, China and Hong Kong
The Prime Minister has decided:-
a) Not to give interviews for Hong Kong journalists
before she leaves for the Far East.
b)
c)
!
To see the three resident Chinese correspondents in London, on the basis of questions submitted in advance.
To see the resident Japanese correspondents and to give short separate interviews to each of the five TV stations ending with a longer one for NHK,
All these interviews will take place in the week before the Prime Minister leaves.
See 143.

I should be grateful if you could let me have a suggested line for the Prime Minister to take on the key issues, particularly on the future of Hong Kong. It would be helpful if the line could be approved by a Minister and reach me by 8 September.
