Both David Wilson and I were struck by Sir S Y's references to regular monthly meals which he and certain other Unofficials had with Xu Jiatun and his deputy.
there were were
larger, rather uneasy occasions involving larger numbers of the Unofficials and the NCNA staff. But we had not realised that there were also these more restricted and regular contacts. It is rather encouraging that such a pattern of exchanges should have been established.
