Dear Nigel
I promised to let you have thoughts about issues or events on which
Andrew Burns might want to keep a weather eye when he embarks on his proposed series of six-monthly meetings with the Hong Kong
Government.
The following list verges on the random, is in no particular order
of priority and probability, is no doubt far from comprehensive and contains many items which you will almost certainly have in your minds already.
Political representation
US MFN status for China
US Section 301
Privatisation of management of tunnels
Defence lands
Air services
TV franchises/corporatisation
Inflation
Pressure on the exchange rate link
Publication of Exchange Fund balance sheet
PADS cost over-runs and pressure on budget Introduction of a VAT-type consumption tax
Land sales (especially PADS-related)
