HONG KONG: MAIL ON SUNDAY

Peter Dobbie political correspondent of the Mail on Sunday told me yesterday of his (and his editor's) continuing sense of alarm about the prospects for Hong Kong. He also repeated his misgivings about HMG's policy towards China being too indulgent. was particularly exercised about the lack of any serious protest about the sentences handed down to students recently (particularly the second batch, who received heavier sentences).

Mr Dobbie said that the MoS was minded to address these themes shortly. You may wish to consider the case for sending him some briefing (a synthesis of the bull points?). An alternative would be an oral briefing from someone if you think that is sensible.
Shall offer to speak
to Mr Crystal.
