IMPORTANCE OF PAYING SUFFICIENT ATTENTION TO THE CHINA DIMENSION IN CHARTING OUR COURSE ON HONG KONG.
4. QINGMING IS NOT A PUBLIC HOLIDAY IN PEKING AND THERE SHOULD BE NO DIFFICULTY IN ARRANGING CALLS ON 5 APRIL. I SUGGEST THE SECRETARY OF STATE MIGHT SPEND THREE WORKING DAYS IN PEKING BEGINNING THE WEEK BEGINNING 1 APRIL. IF TIME PERMITTED, HE MIGHT ALSO LIKE TO SPEND SATURDAY 6 APRIL SEEING SOMETHING OF THE SIGHTS AROUND PEKING. ALTHOUGH IN THEORY SPRING SHOULD ALREADY HAVE STARTED, THE TEMPERATURE MIGHT STILL BE BRISK BUT NOT UNCOMFORTABLE.
