statements by Chinese spokesmen made over the weekend (or
alleged Hong Kong Government statements/reactions) I recommend
that he should first make contact with Mike Hanson,
Information Coordinator, Hong Kong Government via the
Government House number (#6187) and ascertain how HKG are
playing it before venturing any comment. If the time
difference makes this impractical, all the more reason to
defer comment until Monday.
4. I shall be reachable on my home number 081 850 8432 in
case the duty officer needs to confer. Peter Ricketts is
contactable if necessary on 0684 40172.
