1. Your account of what Yao Guang told the Icelanders about Hong Kong, especially that section relating to a possible implementation of new laws following a Chinese resumption of sovereignty, was of considerable interest. It would thus be very helpful if you could obtain a full record of this meeting and let us have a translation as soon as is convenient.
