The Minister of Transport, Yeh Fei, was also here this week in transit after a European tour, although all he did here was visit the container terminal at Kwaichung. We have no wish to limit visits here by Chinese Ministers, or others. However, I have told the NCNA that, if there are high-level Chinese visitors who are staying here for more than a transit stop, I would like to know what they are up to so that we can make appropriate arrangements for them. -I think they have taken the point.

I enclose, for you and Peking only, an account of what Li said to businessmen as recorded in the Ta Kung Pao of 21 December which has reached me just as the bag is closing.
