1. IN THE EVENT A SUITABLE OPPORTUNITY DID NOT ARISE FOR US TO APPROACH ZHAO JIHUA IN THE MARGINS OF THE LAST ROUND OF TALKS (PARTLY BECAUSE WE HAD TO GIVE HIGHER PRIORITY TO THE PRESSING PROBLEMS OF EX CHINA VIETNAMESE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS - ALBEIT TO LITTLE APPARENT EFFECT), AND THE ATMOSPHERE OF OUR CALL ON HIS DEPUTY, WANG GUISHENG, ON 26 JULY COUR TELNO 1042) WAS NOT PROPITIOUS FOR RAISING IT WITH HIM. WE SHALL LOOK OUT FOR ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY.
