THE GROUP B PAPER ENTITLED QUOTE THE DEBT SITUATION OF DEVELOPING COUNTRIES UNQUOTE ALSO CONTAINED IN THE ABOVE-MENTIONED DOCUMENT, SIMILARLY REFERS TO TAIWAN AS A COUNTRY. THE PARTIES CONCERNED SHOULD TAKE STEPS TO DELETE SUCH REFERENCES.
HONG KONG IS A LEGACY OF HISTORY, A PRODUCT OF THE UNEQUAL TREATIES IMPOSED ON CHINA BY IMPERIALISM. THE CHINESE GOVERNEMT HAS ALWAYS MAINTAINED THAT THE PROBLEM WILL BE RESOLVED IN AN APPROPRIATE MANNER WHEN CONDITIONS ARE RIPE. THEREFORE, IT IS ERRONEOUS TO REFER TO HONG KONG AS A COUNTRY IN THE ABOVE- MENTIONED DOCUMENTS.
I REQUEST THAT THIS STATEMENT BE INCLUDED IN THE RECORD.
