| On July 29, 1982, Margaret Thatcher wrote her note “Excellent” on the report of Lord MacLehose and Sir E. Youde’s lunch meeting with the Chinese Ambassador Mr Liang Geng. While Mr Liang reiterated China’s idea to have Hong Kong returned to Chinese sovereignty for the “unequal” treaties, the British diplomats expressed the difficulties in maintaining its legal basis in the UK parliament. (The National Archives, HONG KONG: Future of Hong Kong, Part 1, PREM 79/798.) In 1982, the China Pictorial cover featured China’s victory in the 3rd World Cup Volleyball Championships in issue No. 2, and Atari released its video game China Syndrome.
