HONG KONG AGREEMENT: PRIME MINISTERS VISIT: HONG KONG ATTENDANCE
1. WHAT ZHOU NAN WILL EXPECT FROM ME WHEN I NEXT SEE HIM IS A LIST OF THE UNOFFICIALS WE SHOULD WISH TO SEE INVITED. I THEREFORE THINK IT WOULD BE PREMATURE FOR ME TO GIVE ZHOU A LIST OF
OUR OTHER CANDIDATES FOR THE OBSERVERS DELEGATION UNTIL SUCH A LIST HAS BEEN PREPARED.
2. DURING MY LAST MEETING WITH ZHOU, I SPOKE ABOUT DAVIES IN A WAY WHICH COULD HAVE IMPLIED TO HIM THAT WE WOULD NOT WISH
TO ADD THE NAMES OF ANY OTHER OFFICIALS OF THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT. I THINK THAT THE CHINESE MIGHT THINK IT STRANGE FOR US TO PUT IN THE NAME OF BISHOP WU. RELATIONS BETWEEN CHINA AND THE VATICAN ARE STILL BAD. CARDINAL SIN'S RECENT VISIT TO CHINA DID NOTHING TO
IMPROVE THEM.
3. GIVEN WHAT XU QIATUN HAS BEEN SAYING IN HONG KONG, THE SOONER I CAN BE AUTHORISED TO ACT THE BETTER.
