4. I SEE THE ATTRACTION IN ADDING A ''PREEMPTIVE' PARAGRAPH ABOUT THE LIBERALISATION POLICY BUT WONDER WHETHER THIS WOULD FIT WELL WITH THE FLOW OF THE DRAFT MESSAGE IN SECOND TUR WHICH IS MEANT TO DEAL WITH CHINA'S, NOT OUR OWN ALLEGED, SHORTCOMINGS. AN ALTERNATIVE MIGHT BE FOR ME TO MAKE THE POINT ABOUT LIBERALISATION ORALLY WHEN I HAND OVER THE MESSAGE.
