The French weekly magazine, Le Point, published in its issue of 29 August the enclosed snippet about Chinese interest in the status of Andorra. According to the magazine the Chinese are wondering whether Andorra's status (it is a co-principality between France and Spain) might be a model for the future status of Hong Kong.

2. There may be nothing in the report: Le Point's "confidential" tit-bits are not always reliable. we thought you might at least like to see it.

ever!
