Your colleague Mr Fei Xiaotong, old friend of
Britain.
His links with us go back some time
1981 he was awarded distinguished Thomas Huxley
Prize by Royal Anthropology Institute.
As well as big joint industrial projects Britain keen
to promote practical cooperation on a human scale. For
example:
famous British double decker buses now run between
Central Peking and Summer Palace
British scientists joined colleagues from China
and Pakistan in pioneering International Karakoram
Project to survey roof of world
British deer from world's last surviving herd in
Britain of rare Père David's deer reintroduced
this year to China
we are pushing ahead with this sort of cooperation.
This afternoon, Vice-Premier Li Peng signed with
Sir Y K Pao and Sir Geoffrey Howe a Memorandum of
Understanding to establish major new scheme to bring
Chinese students to study in Britain. Scheme arose
from imagination and generosity of Sir Y K. Must thank
him. Could bring several hundred extra Chinese
students to Britain a year, on top of 1200 now studying
in British universities and colleges
already
unprecendented number.
