(C) POLOFF delivered reftel demarche on China's Tier 2 Watch List
ranking and specific TIP language to An Gang, Director, USA Division,
Department of North American and Oceanian Affairs, Ministry of
Foreign Affairs; Xu Yu, Deputy Division Director, Department of
Treaty and Law, Ministry of Foreign Affairs; and Chen Shiqi,
Director, Office of Combating Human Trafficking, Ministry of Public
Security. All agreed to respond with any questions after reviewing
the report in depth. An Gang noted that China would "probably not
have any official response, except perhaps to protest some
inaccuracies in the language of the report." China would prefer the
United States raise its concerns "some other way than a press
conference," he added.
