¶1. (C) On September 24, PolOff delivered to Ministry of
Foreign Affairs, International Organizations and Conferences
Department, Human Rights Affairs Division Deputy Director Yao
Shaojun reftel points on U.S. concerns regarding the
conclusions and recommendations of the Goldstone Report.
¶2. (C) Yao replied that China also had doubts about
discussing the Goldstone Report in the Security Council.
However, he added, China "understands the concerns of the
Arab countries." China is seeking, but has still not found,
a balanced way forward that will satisfy the concerns of all
parties, Yao said. He requested that the United States
inform the Chinese delegation if there were any elements of
the Goldstone Report recommendations that it could support.
