1. ONE TACTICAL POINT. QIAN QICHEN'S DELEGATION DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY SENIOR MEMBERS OF WED WHO DEAL REGULARLY WITH UK MATTERS.
2.
WU HONGBO, A RECENT MEMBER OF THE CHINESE JLG TEAM AND NOW DIVISION CHIEF WITH HKMA OFFICE OF THE MFA, WOULD UNDERSTAND THE BACKGROUND BUT IS TOO JUNIOR. ZHANG ZHIMIN IS THE UK DESK OFFICER. IT MIGHT BE BEST THEREFORE TO AIM AT A WORD WITH AMBASSADOR MA IN THE MARGINS OF THE TALKS, FLAGGING UP THAT IT MIGHT BE USEFUL TO HAVE WU OR THE EMBASSY'S HONG KONG EXPERT IN ATTENDANCE.
