Dear Read
CHINA/HONG KONG
FCO telno 644 to Peking recorded winston Lord's request at the Chevening talks that we stay closely in touch with the Americans to ensure that they say the right things on Hong Kong in their contacts with the Chinese in the run-up to next month's APEC summit, when clinton will meet Jiang Zemin.

It would be helpful in these circumstances if we ourselves could be kept more closely informed of the state of UK/China negotiations. For a start, is there a fuller record of the Secretary of State's discussions with Qian Qichen than the outline in Guidance telno 36?
