YOUR TELNO 72: POSSIBLE VISIT BY THE SECRETARY OF STATE TO CHINA
•
1 We realise that the line proposed in your para 2 is close to that taken publicly by the Secretary of State. But to minimise the risk of getting into an argument with the Chinese about the circumstances in which the meeting might take place, we would prefer you to take a slightly less specific line. We suggest that if Lu Ping raises this with you, you simply undertake to report and add that there is still a little time before preparations need to be made.
2.
We will be responding separately to the point in PARA 3 OF TUR.
