CALL BY SIR CHARLES POWELL ON THE SECRETARY OF STATE: 21 JULY
Line to Take
Talks in Peking
-
Have heard from our team in Peking that the first day of
- the Eighth Round was workmanlike with no dramatic
developments.
Chinese discrimination against Jardines
-
As 8 rold
I
I raised this issue with Jiang Enzhu in Peking.
An unfortunate episode, but hope that your and our efforts
have made the Chinese think twice. Have you heard of any more
incidents?
Container Terminal 9
We have pressed the Chinese hard on the CT9 land grant but
as yet no indication of when they will agree to it.
Is the consortium likely to hold together and are any of the companies under pressure to withdraw?
Measures to control Chinese economy and effects on Hong Kong
Chinese have announced a set of prudent measures which, if implemented, should enable the Chinese economy to experience a
soft landing. Should lead to slower but more stable growth.
Inevitably some effect on Hong Kong given the high level of integration between the two economies. May result in slight
reduction in growth in GDP and some correction in asset
values.

コ
New Kuala Lumpur International Airport
I understand that Jardines/Gammon have a strong interest in this project. What is the latest position?
Hong Kong Takeover Code (Defensive)
- It will be up to the Hong Kong Securities and Future
Commission and the Hong Kong Takeovers panel to decide whether
or not the Takeover Code should continue to apply to Jardines. Understand next step is for you to put a formal proposal
to the Securities and Futures Commission.
