BE, TIGHTENED. THE MAJOR MEASURE THAT THE CPG WOULD ADOPT TO RESTORE
CONFIDENCE IN HONG KONG WAS TO PROMULGATE A WELL-WRITTEN BL.
COMMENT
11. THE REMARKS OF LI AND LU, ALTHOUGH STILL PROMPTED BY HONG KONG REPORTERS' QUESTIONS, ARE PROBABLY INTENDED TO LOWER ANY EXPECTATIONS IN HONG KONG ABOUT SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS IN THE BASIC LAW. ZHOU'S REMARKS ARE BOTH MORE WOOLLY AND MORE CAREFUL. JI
APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN TRYING TO BE BOTH REASSURING AND NON-SPECIFIC.
12. WE CAN
EXPECT ALL THE THEMES WHICH HAVE EMERGED IN COMMENTS TO THE PRESS DURING THE LAST TWO DAYS TO RESURFACE DURING THE BLDC/BLCC
MEETINGS. WE SHALL BE DEBRIEFING SOME OF THE HONG KONG MEMBERS WHO
ARE ATTENDING AND WILL THEN REPORT FURTHER.
