HONG KONG TENO 3606: GOVERNOR'S ADDRESS TO LEGCO
PARA 2 OF TUR: ''OPEN POLICY'' IS NOT THE NORMAL TRANSLATION USED BY THE CHINESE FOR ''KAIFANG ZHENGCE '' IT IS ALSO SLIGHTLY
INACCURATE SINCE ''KAIFANG IN THIS CONTEXT MEANS ''OPENING UP'
NOT (NOT) 'OPEN
''OPEN DOOR POLICY'' IS OF COURSE ALSO INACCURATE IN THIS CONTEXT, BUT IS THE TRANSLATION COMMONLY USED BY FOREIGNERS AND WE ARE NOT AWARE OF IT PARTICULARLY RAISING CHINESE HACKLES. HOWEVER, IF THE GOVERNOR WISHES TO REFLECT CHINESE USAGE, THE STANDARD CHINESE TRANSLATION IS ''THE POLICY OF OPENING TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD (CF EG CHINA DAILY OF 28 SEPTEMBER, FRONT PAGE
ENTITLED ''WHY STATE IMPOSED TAX ON BANQUETS'').
