1. (C) On August 7, Delreps Granger and Smith met
with Chinese Deputy PermRep Chen Kai and Chinese
delegate Xu Feng to deliver reftel points. Delrep
informed Chen of Washington's positive response to
China's standing invitation for bilateral
discussions in Beijing and site visits to Nanjing
and Shanghai. Chen said that dates still are being
considered and that he understands Beijing would
prefer the visit to take place near the end of the
year, possibly in November or December, after a
planned bilateral discussion on general arms
control issues.
2. (C) Delrep raised including Japanese
representatives for the Nanjing site visit. Chen,
while personally in favor of the concept, indicated
that this had not been discussed yet and would
require bilateral discussions between Japan and
China. Delrep noted that a visit to a U.S.
industrial facility -- comparable to the Shanghai
site visit -- could not be guaranteed, and Chen
fully understood due that this was due to the
private ownership of U.S. facilities. Delrep also
noted the U.S. desire to focus the bilateral
discussions on working-level, technical issues --
including outstanding, unresolved questions -- and
informed Chen that written questions will be
provided in advance of the visit to facilitate
substantive dialogue.
3. (U) GRANGER SENDS.
