CHINESE INTENTIONS IN REGARD TO HONG KONG

Α

B

C

1.

In your manuscript minute of 9 April you asked

for something to read on Chinese intentions in

regard to Hong Kong.

2. I attach a copy of a paper on 'Hong Kong in the

1980's' recently submitted by Hong Kong & General

Department. Paragraphs 19 give our assessment

of British and Chinese interests in Hong Kong. I

also attach, to bring you fully up to date, all three

Peking telegrams reporting the Governor of Hong Kong's

calls in Peking on Vice Premier Deng Xiaoping and

Foreign Minister Huang Hua.

3.

Please let me know if there are further points on

which you would like more information.
