HE WAS I
1. WE BRIEFED MR HEATH IN THE EMBASSY BEFORE LUNCH TODAY. WE
BROUGHT HIM UP TO DATE ON DEVELOPMENTS SINCE YOU AND THE
AMBASSADOR SAW HIM ON 15 AUGUST. WE WARNED HIM THAT THE
CHINESE MIGHT SEEK TO USE HIS VISIT TO INCREASE PSYCHOLOGICAL
PRESSURE ON THE BRITISH SIDE, AND MIGHT THEREFORE TAKE A PRETTY TOUGH LINE IN TALKING TO HIM. ALTHOUGH CLEARLY SCEPTICAL ABOUT SOME ELEMENTS IN OUR POSITION, WE HAD THE IMPRESSION THAT HE WILL TAKE A HELPFUL LINE. WE ALSO ADVISED HIM, ASSUMING CONVERSATION ON HONG KONG DOES TAKE PLACE, TO ESTABLISH CLEARLY
WITH THE CHINESE SIDE WHAT WILL AND WILL NOT BE SAID TO THE PRESS
AFTERWARDS.
2. MR HEATH IS DUE TO SEE WU XUEQIAN ON 6 SEPTEMBER, AND WILL BE GIVEN DINNER BY HIM. A MEETING WITH A SO FAR UNSPECIFIED LEADER
IS SCHEDULED FOR THE MORNING OF 10 SEPTEMBER: WE ASSUME THAT THIS
WILL BE DENG. GALSWORTHY WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO MR HEATH BEFORE THE MEETING WITH WU. ANY LAST MINUTE POINTS SHOULD REACH US BY 040OZ 6 SEPT.
