1/3.

1 We agree that you should take up this case with the Chinese authorities as requested by Hong Kong. Grateful therefore if you could approach the Chinese in order to establish why Chong is being held, whether he has been formally charged, when he is Likely to be brought to trial and whether his family will be allowed to visit him.

It would be useful if Hong Kong could confirm whether Chong is a British national.
