Points to make
CONFIDENTIAL
-
Events in China in June had severe impact on Hong Kong people. Now recovering but still a problem of confidence.
Chinese reluctant to accept that their actions are the cause.
Important to keep open channels of communication over Hong Kong. Resumption of JLG work with thirteenth plenary in September a step
towards return to cooperation.
Hope that recent period of public difficulties at an end. Will
help confidence in Hong Kong if we and China are seen to be back in
dialogue.
Next important development promulgation of Basic Law in Spring 1990. Will have strong impact on Hong Kong.
No background.
