Press reports of new Chinese airport financing proposal and
early Airport committee meeting
- Have not received any formal proposal: but would welcome an early meeting of Airport Committee if this would resolve outstanding issues.
Are Chinese still linking airport to political issues?
They say not. Cannot see any reason why they should.
Postponement of Governor's visit a snub?
No
-
a genuine clash of dates with their Party Congress. That is a major political event in China: once in five years. Quite understand not a time they can deal with important foreign
visits as well. Governor will be going thereafter (21-23
October).
Chinese incursions into HK waters
Noted that the Chinese have said that those responsible for
the recent incursion will be dealt with severely. Important
that we maintain good cooperation in anti-smuggling work.
