O
I VERY MUCH HOPE THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE A LEAST 48 HOURS WARNING. YOU ARE PRESUMABLY THINKING OF GIVING THE CHINESE ADVANCE WARNING AS WELL (MY TELNO 3965 PARA ́16), IN ORDER TO HAVE ANY PROSPECT OF AVOIDING BOUNCING THEM INTO AN UNHELPFUL PUBLIC RESPONSE. SEEN FROM HERE THERE IS A NEED FOR ENOUGH NOTICE TO TRY TO AVOID THE SORT OF REACTION ON POST 1997 CONSIDERATIONS WHICH COULD UNDERMINE THE GOOD WE HOPE THE PACKAGE SHOULD DO.
