YOUR TELNO 48: DETAINED HONG KONG RESIDENT

1.

ACCORDING TO DORAM'S LETTER, CHONG IS A RESIDENT OF HONG KONG. IT IS HIS DAUGHTERS WHO ARE BASED IN THE US. WE WILL TRY TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT CHONG'S HONG KONG CONNECTION FROM HIS LAWYER.

2.

WE SUSPECT THAT CHONG WILL HAVE BEEN IN CHINA ON A CHINESE RE-ENTRY PERMIT. AS YOU IMPLY THIS WOULD MEAN WE HAVE NO REAL

CONSULAR RIGHTS. NONETHELESS WE HOPE THAT OUR EFFORTS WOULD HAVE SOME EFFECT ON THE AUTHORITIES IN ZHENGZHOU, PARTICULARLY IF THE PROBLEM IS A COMMERCIAL AND NOT A CRIMINAL MATTER.

WE NOTE YOUR PREFERENCE FOR RAISING THE MATTER WITH THE NCNA

IN HONG KONG.
