YOUR TELNO 3300. DENG XIAOPING.
1. JOHN GRIFFITHS QC, THE FORMER HONG KONG ATTORNEY-GENERAL, WAS IN PEKING LAST WEEK. HE SAID HE THOUGHT THAT ROBERT KWOK, DESCRIBED AS A SINGAPOREAN BUSINESSMAN BASED IN HONG KONG, HAD RECENTLY MET DENG XIAOPING. GRIFFITHS WAS NOT ABSOLUTELY SURE OF HIS GROUND BUT THOUGHT THAT THIS MIGHT HAVE BEEN EARLY IN OCTOBER. HE THOUGHT THAT KWOK HAS CONNECTIONS TO (? RUNS) THE SHANGRI-LA HOTEL GROUP.
2.
IS THERE ANY WAY THAT YOU COULD ESTABLISH THE TRUTH OF THIS ? IF DENG DIO MEET KWOK, IT WENT UNREPORTED AND UNREMARKED HERE. IT WOULD ALSO MAKE IT THE MORE SURPRISING THAT HE CANNOT MEET SIR Y.K. PAO.
