PLANNING OF INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BORDER.
SINCE THIS WOULD INEVITABLY BE A BRAKE ON OUR OWN PLANS AND WOULD RAISE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SAR'S AUTONOMY AFTER 1997. BUT, WITH CAREFUL HANDLING SUCH A VISIT COULD BE USEFUL IN INFLUENCING
CHINESE PLANNING IN A MORE HELPFUL DIRECTION IN TERMS OF
CONSISTENCY WITH OUR OWN PLANS, AND AT A SIMPLE LEVEL IN GETTING A FEEL FOR THEIR OWN PLANNING AND HOW FAR THEIR PLANS ARE PRACTICABLE. WE WOULD ALSO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SUCH A VISIT TO BRIEF THE MINISTER IN DETAIL ON OUR OWN ROAD, RAIL, AIRPORT AND PORT DEVELOPMENT PLANS TO GIVE HIM AN IDEA OF HOW THESE COULD BENEFIT SOUTHERN CHINA.
