GUANGDONG NUCLEAR POWER STATION AT DAYA BAY

1. WE WERE SORRY TO LEARN OF THE NEGATIVE GUANGDONG RESPONSE AND AGREE THAT IT MEANS THAT WE WOULD NOT ACHIEVE ANYTHING POSITIVE BY ANOTHER APPROACH TO CHEN ZENGQING AT THIS STAGE. HOWEVER, IF THE GUANGDONG AUTHORITIES CONTINUE TO INSIST THAT HONG KONG MUST UNDERTAKE TO SIGN UP TO THEIR CONFIDENTIALITY FORMULA BEFORE THERE CAN BE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OF CONFIDENTIALITY OR ANY OTHER SUBJECT, WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO TRY AGAIN HERE. (IF THE OBSTACLE REMAINS AS CLEAR AND UNREASONABLE AS THAT, WE MIGHT THEN ALSO TRY TO ENLIST THE SUPPORT OF THE STATE COUNCIL'S HONG KONG AND MACAO AFFAIRS OFFICE, WHO SHOULD HAVE SOME IDEA OF HOW BADLY THIS STAND-OFF WOULD PLAY IN HONG KONG. BUT WE ASSUME THAT NCNA HONG KONG ARE ALREADY FULLY IN THE PICTURE.)
