ра
YOUR TELNO 7: HONG KONG/TAIWAN: NEW KUOMINGTANG ALLIANCE (NKMATA)
1.
SUBJECT TO FCO'S VIEWS, I SEE NO DIFFICULTIES WITH THE ACTION PROPOSED. THERE MAY BE SOME FALL-OUT LOCALLY BUT GIVEN THAT THE SPLIT BETWEEN THE NKMTA AND THE KMT MAINSTREAM IS BECOMING MORE JAGGED (AND ON WHICH I SHALL REPORT MORE FULLY NEXT WEEK), I WOULD
INDEED, NOT EXPECT THE TAIWANESE GOVERNMENT TO MAKE TOO MUCH FUSS. THEY MIGHT PRIVATELY TAKE COMFORT FROM THE NKMTA BEING RAPPED OVER THE KNUCKLES.
-
2. I WOULD PROPOSE TO SPEAK TO THE MFA AT DEPUTY DIRECTOR OR DIRECTOR LEVEL CERTAINLY NO HIGHER JUST AS SOON AS THE DIRECTOR
IT OF IMMIGRATION HAS WRITTEN TO THE OFFENDERS. IN THIS RESPECT, WOULD BE HELPFUL IF YOU COULD SEND ME BY FAXLOK A COPY OF THE LETTER.
3.
IN SPEAKING TO JASON HU (GIO), IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO BE ABLE TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT HIS OWN APPLICATION FOR A MULTI-ENTRY VISA (MY TELNO 7). HE IS ADAMANT, INCIDENTALLY, THAT HIS EXPIRED MULTI- ENTRY VISA WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED AFTER HE TOOK UP HIS PRESENT POST. CAN YOU PLEASE CLARIFY? IF THERE IS NO GOOD NEWS FOR HIM AT THIS JUNCTURE, I MIGHT BETTER RESTRICT MYSELF TO THE MFA.
