1. (C) At the end of a February 4 meeting with Assistant
Foreign Minister Liu Jieyi on Taiwan (septel),the Ambassador
drew upon reftel points to urge the PRC to press the Sudanese
Government to end its support of rebel groups in neighboring
Chad. AFM Liu responded that the PRC Government takes this
matter very seriously and will investigate whether the
situation warrants "China talking to the Sudanese
Government." AFM Liu stated that China, as a matter of
principle, opposes interference in the internal affairs of a
sovereign country.
2. (C) AFM Liu acknowledged that Chad is "facing a terrible
situation." Because the conflict around the capital
N'djamena has intensified, AFM Liu said, China will soon
evacuate its personnel to Cameroon. The MFA has set up a
task force to monitor the situation in Chad.
