CONFIDENTIAL

Appreciate American interest in and support for Hong Kong

Have always been ready to discuss developments

Surprised therefore by this formal demarche and its terms

Decision to deny entry was taken by HKG in the best interests of Hong Kong

Entirely in accord with long standing and well known policy

Policy well understood and supported in Hong Kong

Consider questions on internal decision-making process inappropriate

Exchanges with Chinese government a bilateral matter
