YOUR TELNO 1670 AND TELECON BUNTEN/COX: MEETING WITH HKMAO

Following telecon Bunten/Cox we learned that Reuters and PA were reporting a Chinese denial of a meeting with Lu Ping. They quoted a spokesman for the HKMAO as saying that there had been no meeting between Lu Ping and yourself.

2. In response to questions from UK diplomatic correspondents at the regular off the record briefing News Department simply confirmed that you had seen Wang Fengchao. There was no substantive discussion and no suggestion of a snub.
