Governor: What I was saying was what I was saying. What I was saying was that we've moved quite a distance already. I suppose in a sense covering about 99 per cent of the market. We want to move at every stage. Having taken proper account of the consequences of the changes that we've made, we do have to look very carefully at the international environment and everybody will know that in the last few months, with developments in Central America, with the instability of the US dollar and so on, it's important for us to be, I think, cautious but the Director of Banking and the Monetary Authority are making the position absolutely clear this afternoon.
Question: We just talked to Mr Zhou Nan about his complaint about your indirect notification about Mr Donald Tsang's appointment.
Governor: I really think there are very important issues that we have to deal with in Hong Kong but without manufacturing huge storms in tiny coffee cups. We proceeded, we behaved over Donald Tsang's appointment exactly as we behaved over every other announcement and every other appointment. And as you know perfectly well, whenever Mr Zhou Nan wishes to see me, shake my hand, talk to me, do anything, I am delighted to meet him. We've got lots we could say to him. And any time he likes to come and talk, we'll be very happy.
