Would appreciate any help you can give in emphasising to
the Chinese that their words and actions can have great influence on international business opinion of Hong Kong's status as a regional and international economic centre.
Important however to avoid triggering Chinese
sensitivities about international interference in Hong Kong,
should not appear to be trying to "internationalise"
Hong Kong.
-
Interested to hear your views on this.

-
Senator Evans made a statement in Hong Kong in April on
the flexibility of the Australian Immigration Rules and how
they could help Hong Kong residents. Very welcome.
- Assume any future Liberal Government in Australia would be
as accommodating perhaps even consider a specific scheme for Hong Kong residents under the Business Migrants
programme?
Believe you met the Governor of Hong Kong during his
recent visit to Australia.
