WHEN THIS CAME UP IN CONVERSATION BETWEEN POLITICAL ADVISER AND NONA LAST NIGHT (BEFORE RECEIPT OF TUR) JI SHAOXIANG SAID ''IF XU GOES TO EUROPE. ON FURTHER ENQUIRY IT EMERGED THAT A FINAL DECISION WAS AWAITED FROM PEKING. FOR ALL JI KNEW THE MATTER MIGHT ALREADY HAVE BEEN DECIDED, BUT XU WAS STILL UP THERE FOR THE BLDC AND NOMA WOULD NOT KNOW THE OUTCOME BEFORE HIS RETURN TO HONG KONG. JI DODGED THE QUESTION OF WHY THE VISIT
TO EUROPE WAS NOW IFFY.
