JIANG SAID THE CHINESE HAD RECEIVED INFORMATION THAT QUOTE SOME PEOPLE FROM TAIWAN MAY ATTEMPT TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST JI PENGFE! DURING HIS VISIT TO HONG KONG UNQUOTE. THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT WAS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS, AND HOPED THAT THE BRITISH SIDE WOULD TAKE EFFECTIVE MEASURES TO ENSURE THE SECURITY OF JI AND HIS PARTY WHILE THEY WERE IN HONG KONG. HE ASKED FOR A RESPONSE TO THIS
REQUEST.
2. I UNDERTOOK TO REPORT AND AGREED TO ASK FOR A RESPONSE. I ADDED THAT I WAS SURE THE AUTHORITIES IN HONG KONG HAD JI'S SECURITY
VERY MUCH IN MIND.
3. I ASKED JIANG WHETHER HE COULD BE MORE SPECIFIC ABOUT THE THREAT. HE REPLIED THAT HE WAS NOT TALKING ABOUT SIMPLE DEMONSTRATION. THE CHINESE BELIEVED THERE WAS A THREAT AGAINST JI'S PERSON.
