Hong Kong Stocks Up Sharply: The Hong Kong stock market gained sharply on reports suggesting that China may soften its opposition to talks with Britain about proposals by Gov. Chris Patten for wider democracy in the colony. The reports, in Chinese newspapers published in Hong Kong, were the first indication that China might drop its call for Patten to withdraw the proposals, published in October, as a precondition for talks. The Hang Seng index rose 191.29 points, or 3.27%, to end the day at 6,049.44.
