YOUR TELNO 1263 TO HONG KONG. NATIONALITY BILL: EURASIANS.
REGISTRY Action Taken
WE SEE NO/NO PROBLEM IN DISCUSSING THE POSITION OF THE EURASIANS WITH THE CHINESE. WE HAVE ALREADY RAISED WITH THEM THE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT PROBLEM OF THE POSITION OF ETHNIC MINORITIES UNDER ARTICLE 24 OF THE BL. ALTHOUGH THEY DECLINED TO AMEND THE BL, GUO'S RESPONSE AT JLG XV WAS PRAGMATIC AND APPEARED TO TRY TO BE HELPFUL (OUR TELNO 633). WE SUGGEST THAT IN THE CASE OF THE EURASIANS WE ONCE AGAIN USE THE JLG CHANNEL.
