HONG KONG TELNOS 4147-8: 1997 REVIEW SURVEY DEE ICE
1. WE WOULD NOT EXPECT THE CHINESE TO OBJECT THROUGH DIPLOMATIC CHANNELS OR PUBLICLY TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A SURVEY OFFICE AS SET OUT IN SECOND TUR. THEY WOULD BE LIKELY TO TAKE THE LINE THAT THE ASSESSMENT OF THE REVIEW WAS CUR AFFAIR AND TO SEE THIS AS A SEPARATE ISSUE FROM WHETHER OR NOT THE REIVEW SHOULD TAKE PLACE,
WHAT ISSUES SHOULD BE ADRESSED IN THE REIVEW AND HOW THEY SHOULD BE
ADDRESSED.
2.
WE THINK A FULL THREE WORKING DAY'S NOTICE TO THE CHINESE WOULD
BE SIFFICIENT.
