RENEWAL OF UNCONDITIONAL MFN WOULD BE MADE MORE DIFFICULT IF CHINA TURNED UP THE HEAT ON HONG KONG.
COMMENT
AS
13. THE MEETINGS WERE USEFUL IN ALLOWING ME TO EXPLAIN THE BACKGROUND AND CURRENT POSITION OF MY CONSTITUTIONAL PACKAGE, WELL AS TO PUT ACROSS OR ARGUMENTS FOR UNCONDITIONAL MFN RENEWAL. THE MESSAGE WILL PRESUMABLY BE PASSED ON TO THE NEW US ADMINISTRATION AND BUSINESS SECTOR. SENATOR NUNN'S ADVICE ON THE TIMING OF MY VISIT TO THE US WAS HELPFUL.
