Constraints on China

while the chinese could make life extremely difficult
for us if they decide to discontinue cooperation with us, there are a number of external and self-imposed constraints on their
freedom of action. The main external constraints are MFN,
their wish to join GATT and their hope to host the Olympics. The self-imposed constraints are their assurances that they

the eventual package which Legco passes on the 1994/95
elections.
