The British Government fully supports Mr Patten and his proposals for constitutional development. They represent the best way forward for Hong Kong and continue to command a high Level of local support.
No wish to give the impression of trying to orchestrate a public campaign against China. But helpful if you could take an opportunity during your forthcoming visit to China to emphasise the importance you attach to Hong Kong's continued stability and prosperity and the implementation of the Joint Declaration, and to tell the Chinese you support Mr Patten's proposals for increased democracy.
