Thank you for your letter of 14 March.
I very much enjoyed meeting you at our recent lunch: Hong Kong is of [considerable] importance to the Government and I always
welcome the opportunity to meet its leading figures.
In your letter of 14 March you raise the question of China's MFN status in the US and the adverse impact which
withdrawal of that status would have on Hong Kong. I entirely take your point and agree that the effect on Hong Kong, both direct and indirect, would be severe and
long lasting.

As you may know, when this issue came up in 1990 we lobbied hard on Hong Kong's behalf and announcing that he was renewing China's MFN status, the President said that Hong Kong had weighed on his mind.
