CONFIDENTIAL
Addressed to F.0. telegram No. 321 of 8 December
Repeated for information to:
1186
POLAD Singapore, Washington.
Hong Kong, POLAD Singapore,
My telegram No. 317: Chinese Protest about Hong Kong.
You will have noted that the statement as published included the phrase about further deterioration of Sino/British relations. In my telegram No. 315 I said this had been said in an Aside. This was an error and I have confirmed from our notes that it was in fact part of formal statement. We must therefore attribute to it a little more meaning. Nevertheless general tenor of the conversation was not particularly minatory.
F.0. pass Priority Hong Kong 163, Routine POLAD Singapore 46, Washington 46.
F.0.
Mr. Hopson
