Page 15:
Both paragraphs present opinion as to what may
happen in Hong Kong as hard fact. Given Sir P Cradock's long association with policy towards Hong Kong, could be taken as reflecting official British prediction.
Page 17: "We are back on that famous window ledge from which the unofficials were more than once rescued in the 1982 to 84 negotiations, and this time saddled with stronger suicidal impulses." Unhelpful both in attributing suicidal impulses to the unofficials in 1982-84 and as describing HMG's current policy in these terms.
