FOR BRITISH INTERESTS E.G. THAT KEY STAFF IN BRITISH FIRMS WILL FARE BETTER THAN KEY STAFF IN JAPANESE, US OR FRENCH FIRMS, OR THAT, (TÓ QUOTE TWO REAL EXAMPLES FROM THE HONG KONG CHINESE BUSINESS COMMUNITY BOTH WELL KNOWN TO ME), SOMEONE WHO HAS RECENTLY GIVEN PNDS 1.25 MILLION TO THE V AND A MUSEUM OR SOMEONE WHO HAS ENDOWED TWO SCIENCE FELLOWSHIPS AT OXFORD, WILL RECEIVE SPECIAL CONSIDERATION). IF ANY UK OFFICIALS SENT TO SET UP THE SCHEME WERE TO BE LOCATED IN THIS OFFICE RATHER THAN IN THE HONG KONG DEPARTMENT OF IMMIGRATION, IT MIGHT BE EASIER TO HELP SEE THAT BRITISH INTERESTS ARE FULLY TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT.
