HONG KONG
1. I SAW JASON HU (GOVERNMENT INFORMATION OFFICE) ON OTHER MATTERS ON 15 MARCH. HE CONFIRMED THAT THEY HAD TO GET OUT OF THE PRESENT PREMISES BUT DID NOT EXPECT TO HAVE TO MOVE UNTIL MAY/JUNE. (THIS MAY BE THE LINK WITH THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR WHICH JOHN NI HAD MENTIONED.)
2. HE AGREED THAT THE MOVE WOULD TAKE PLACE WITH NO PUBLICITY AND THAT THE EXISTING NAME OF THE OFFICE WOULD BE RETAINED.
3. COMMENT
IT SEEMS THAT THE TAIWANESE ARE NOW ON BOARD BOTH HERE AND IN HONG KONG. JASON HU IS SUFFICIENTLY SENSITIVE TO OUR NEEDS TO BE RELIED ON TO COME BACK TO US IF THERE SHOULD BE ANY HITCH.
