COULD NOT SEE THT IT NEED BE AN OBSTACLE, SINCE THERE WOULD BE SO MANY OTHER NON-HONG KONG MATTERS TO DISCUSS. MY OWN VIEW IS THAT IT
WOULD BE WRONG TO HESITATE ON THIS GROUND ALONE BEFORE CONFIRMING TO THE CHINESE THAT THEIR PREFEREED DATES MAY STAND, GIVEN:
(A) THE PRACTICAL NEED TO DOVETAIL WITH THE US VISIT, AND
(B) THE CONSIDERABLE GESTURE WU SEEMS TO BE VISIT OF AS MUCH AS FIVE DAYS TO THE UK, IN FINAL MONTH OF OFFICE AS FOREIGN MINISTER.
