SUBJECT:
CHINA DAILY:
MESSAGE FROM THE PRIME MINISTER
1. To mark the occasion of the Prime Minister's visit
Peking
to China the Chinese English-language newspaper
the 'China Daily' is producing a special 8-page
supplement on Anglo/Chinese relations and Britain.
Major British firms are placing advertisements in the
supplement and through the Embassy we are contributing
half of the editorial material, mainly from COI sources.
2. The 'China Daily' would welcome a short message
from the Prime Minister at the beginning of the
supplement.
The French Prime Minister contributed
We
a message to a supplement on France last month.
very much hope that the Prime Minister will feel able
to respond to this request. I attach a draft text
which has been cleared with the Embassy in Peking.
The deadline for copy is 10 September but it would be
useful to have your decision as soon as possible so
that we can stimulate a corresponding message from
the Chinese Premier.
