PORRIGE SECRETARY:
To take them on board of course and recognise that it is a
point that has been put and can be put, but then to go on to say
that the administration here hep the strength of not being a British
administration, it is an administration inspired by the style and
quality of British Government over HAAY TCARS. It is an
administration now which is heavily dominated by the impact of Dong
Kong people themselves and its performance through the problems of
recent monthe couflim. vm'v väkivbanding of ila maturity and
ability to address these things.
So far as the wider question is concerned, it is
understandable of course that in face of the shocking events of the
last month, people should be looking to find someone whom they can
blame for it and understandable to lack cut towards Britain ze
having a greater role than is actually possible.
But my impression, not least from this visit, is that nobody
actually wants to sustain that kind of view but there is a
recognition that we do have to address this in partnership, ac I
said in my arrival statement, and that provided Britain is seen tu
be responding along the lines set out in my statement this
afternoon, then that understanding will be maintained. Of course it
ie a hazard still to keep in mind but I do not believe it is one
that can be quetained.
