IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE CANADIANS WILL SEEK A SIMILAR STATEMENT FROM THE CHINESE AFTER 1997. HOWEVER WE NOT THINK WE SHOULD APPROACH THE CHINESE ON THIS MINOR POINT AS WE DOUBT THAT THEY WILL BE FORTHCOMING AND IT MIGHT ONLY GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO DELAY FURTHER THE SURRENDER OF FUGITIVE OFFENDERS AGREEMENT.
