I THOUGHT IT RIGHT TO GIVE THE CHINESE ADVANCE WARNING OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. I SPOKE ACCORDINGLY TO CHEN ZIYING, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF THE STATE COUNCIL HKMO, ASKING HIM TO PASS A MESSAGE TO LU PING (WHO WAS UNAVAILABLE). WE HAVE ALSO SPOKEN TO THE MFA, WITH A REQUEST FROM ME THAT THEY SHOULD INFORM JIANG ENZHU.
