394 MY TELMO 2300 VISIT OF STATE COUNCILLOP JE PENGFEI

1. ! SPENT MOST OF THE MORNING TAKING JI PENGFEL AND HIS PARTY

AROUND THE HARROUP AND GIVING THEM LUNCH WITH SENIOR GOVERNMENT

OFFICIALS AFTERWARDS. HE HAS SHOWN NO INTEPEST IN FURTHER SUBSTAN-

TIVE TALKS AND SEENS CONTENT TO LEAVE THINGS WHERE WE LEFT THEM

AFTER OUR DISCUSSIONS ON 11 DECEMBEP.

2. HIS STAFF TELL US THAT HE IS ENJOYING HIMSELF LOOKING ROUND

(WE ALSO TOOK HIM HELICOPTERING YESTERDAY). HE HAS LISTENED

CAREFULLY TO ALL THE EXPLANATIONS WE HAVE GIVEN HIM ABOUT HONG

KONG'S DEVELOPMENT, ITS ECONOMY, ITS SOCIAL STRUCTURE, ETC. BUT HE OFFERS LITTLE COMMENT HIMSELF. "EVERTHELESS, THE MODERNITY AND

"HIGH TECH'' ASPECTS OF HONG KONG HAVE CLEARLY IMPRESSED HIM AND

HIS PARTY.
