HONG KONG
ED
1.
I SEE NO NEED TO PRESS FOR A REFERENCE TO HONG KONG IN THE CHOGM COMMUNIQUE. THE SITUATION IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM THAT IN 1989. AND THERE IS ALWAYS A RISK OF REVIVING CHINESE SUSPICIONS ABOUT THE INTERNATIONALISATION OF HONG KONG. THERE IS NO PARTICULAR REASON FOR US TO TAKE THIS RISK.
2. IF, HOWEVER, OTHER MEMBERS PRESS FOR A REFERENCE TO HONG KONG, I WOULD BE CONTENT WITH THE FORM OF WORDS IN PARAGRAPH 2 OF TUR.
