SOUNDING BOARD: AND
(C) EVEN IF THERE WAS INDEED A LEAK BY AN HKG OFFICIAL, THESE TWO ARTICLES WOULD NOT, GIVEN THE STATUS OF WEN WI PO, HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED WITHOUT SOME, AT LEAST LOCAL, OFFICIAL CHINESE SANCTION.
4. WE THUS RECOMMEND THAT PEKING SHOULD DRAW THE CONTENT OF MIFT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE MFA QUICKLY, EMPHASIZE OUR CONCERN AT THE CONTINUATION OF SUCH REVELATIONS OF CONFIDENTIAL EXCHANGES, AND ASK IF THERE MIGHT BE ANYTHING THAT THE CHINESE COULD DO TO STOP FURTHER PUBLICATIONS OF THIS SORT.
