We got approval from London to publish them. The media reaction is wholly manageable. No one has the wit to ask the killer question as to whether I had actually seen the telegrams myself before I put forward my proposals. I was able to go on repeating that of course my officials knew about the exchanges very well. I guess this will continue to be an issue with which the Chinese will beat us over the head. They are saying in their newspapers that civil servants are very nervous about what I have proposed and want a quiet life until 1997, when they will start working for a China-appointed administration. There isn’t much sign of this so far. Thursday 5 November We crossed the harbour, one of the great journeys in the world.

In May 2016, Patten said that the BBC has "lost some of its ambition" in its coverage of science, philosophy and history, and should "stretch" audiences more. Patten bemoaned the fact that much of the corporation's high-brow programming had been moved to BBC Four, the digital channel, and given low budgets that meant shows were "sometimes made with glue and string". In a speech on the future of the BBC, which he said was "one of this country's greatest institutions", Patten called on ministers to respect the "besieged" broadcaster's independence, and set in place measures to stop it becoming "the plaything of the government of the day".
