1.
We think that we have got about as far as we are going to get with the Taiwanese on this. Subject to Hong Kong's views, we suggest that you now pin Jason Hu down on the following:
- No name change.
Move to take place when lease of existing premises runs out. No announcement at time of move.
You could add that as far as we can see, no public announcement should be necessary.
2.
But we obviously cannot bind the Taiwanese to silence for ever. If they insist on some announcement at a later stage, say the end of the year, you should ask for this to be as Low-key as possible, and urge them to check back with us before they make it (in case there are still particular sensitivities over timing).

Hong Kong might wish to reinforce these points with John Ni.
