YOUR TELNO 334 TO HONG KONG: PARLIAMENTRY QUESTIONS: HONG KONG AGREEMENT AND NEW GOVERNOR
1. NO COMMENTS ON YOUR PROPOSED ANSWER TO QUESTION (4).
2. SINCE WE ARE UNAWARE OF ANY SPECIFIC OFFICIAL CHINESE STATEMENT
ABOUT THE EFFECTS OF RECENT INTERNAL DEVELOPMENTS ON CHINA'S
POLICIES TOWARDS HONG KONG, WE WOULD SUGGEST THE FOLLOWING
SUBSTITUTE FOR THE FIRST SENTENCE IN THE ANSWER TO QUESTION (B)
QUOTE CHINESE LEADERS HAVE MADE IT CLEAR THAT CHINA'S INTERNAL AND
EXTERNAL POLICIES WILL NOT BE AFFECTED BY RECENT INTERNAL
DEVELOPMENTS. UNQUOTE (CHINA DAILY QUOTED PREMIER ZHAO ZIGANG TO
THIS EFFECT ON 19 JANUARY). WE HAVE NO COMMENT ON SECOND SENTENCE
IN THE ANSWER.
