QUOTE (from the questions and answers submitted to the Government)

PRC ANGLE

Mr. G. Wu, Mr. K.S. Li had two discussions with Mr. Xu Jia Tun of the

Xin Hua News Agency on this project. Mr. Xu informed us that:

(1)

"China is solidly behind this project."

(2)

(3)

"wants to have equity participation." The exact percentage is to

be up to the consortium to decide.

Mr. Xu also stressed that the approval must rest with the Hong

Kong Government. Once approval has been given, China will

announce full support.

Mr. Xu and his team of economists appreciate that this is a very good

scheme for Hong Kong. Quote ("better than the scheme we have in mind.")

Mr. Xu's deputy Mr. Zheng Hua (in charge of economics) believes that

this project will be good for the boost of confidence and investment

climate in the 1990's.
