1. IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF THE SECRETARY OF STATE WOULD INVITE WU TO STOP OVER IN LONDON DURING HIS VISIT TO EUROPE IN MAY. ALTHOUGH THE PURPOSE MIGHT BE PRESENTED AS A WIDER EXCHANGE OF VIEWS SUCH A VISIT WOULD ENABLE THE SECRETARY OF STATE TO DISCUSS WITH WU THE QUESTION OF REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT INCLUDING DIRECT ELECTIONS
AND CHINESE THOUGHTS ON GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE AND THE BASIC LAW.
2. *** WOULD ALSO SEE MERIT N SUGGESTING THAT WU VISIT HONG KONG ON HIS RETURN, IF THIS WOULD BE CONVENIENT TO HIM. WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO ARRANGE A PROGRAMME.
