DEVELOPMENT OF REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT IN HONG KONG.
1. I SHALL BE VISITING NANKING AND SOME OTHER TOWNS IN JIANGSU
PROVINCE IN MAY AT THE INVITATION OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE NCNA HERE,
XU JIATUN. THIS VISIT IS COMBINED WITH MY VISIT TO SHANGHAI WITH
THE TRADE DEVELOPMENT MISSION AND EXHIBITION OF HONG KONG PRODUCTS.
XU JIATUN HAS TOLD SOME OF HIS CONTACTS IN HONG KONG THAT THOSE WHO
WILL ACCOMPANY ME DURING THE VISIT WILL BE SEEKING TO TALK ABOUT
THE DEVELOPMENT OF REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT IN HONG KONG AND OUR
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE.
2. CHINESE INTEREST AT THIS TIME PROBABLY STEMS FROM A NUMBER OF
FACTORS: THE WHITE PAPER: THE ELECTORAL PROVISIONS BILL: THE SUCCESS
OF THE DISTRICT BOARD ELECTIONS: AND THE FACT THAT WE HAVE LET IT
BE KNOW THAT THE NEW DEPUTY CHIEF SECRETARY WILL BE DOING SOME WORK
ON CONSTITUTIONAL MATTERS WHEN HE TAKES UP HIS POST IN MAY. WE CAN
DECIDE NEARER THE TIME WHAT LINE I SHOULD TAKE WITH THE CHINESE IF
THEY RAISE IT.
