INTERVIEWER:
Chiuu?
Are you dissapointed with President Bush's pragmatism towards
PRIME MINISTER:
We have none of us stopped trade with China, none of us.
There are quite a number of contracts which are now being carried
Ve have France has not stopped trade with China, por bave we. stopped any military trade and we have stopped all high level visits
ουτ.
and so on,
But I think that President Bush was very swift to condemn
what happened in China, as indeed we all were. Having condemned it,
we must I think make it clear that these events will not easily be
forgotten and the question then is precisely what we do next and for
that we shall need quite a lot of discussion.
18TERVIEVER:
Including in Paris?
PRIME MINISTER:
Yes including in Paris. Do not forget we have Hong Kong
where of course most of the land will revert to mainland China in
1997 and Hong Kong does a great deal of trade with China and China
with Hong Kong and it is vital for the future of Hong Kong that she
continues to be prosperous because then she is most valuable to
China.
