Thank you for your letter of 12 December about human
rights in China, which you suggested I discuss during
my recent visit to Peking. In practice, there was no
prospect of doing so during a stay which was so short
and whose central objective was to sign the Joint
Declaration on Hong Kong.
Enclosures-flag(s)......
I would like, however, to assure you that when
circumstances make it possible and helpful to discuss
human rights, including individual cases, the Government
will do so, with China as with other countries.
In
each case we need to judge carefully what action is likel
to be most effective.
