remain and US bullying tactics

continue unabated.

Chinese officials have agreed

to restart negotiations and have

shown their good faith for ad-

dressing the dispute through

dialogue, but they are likely to

exercise caution about making

any commitment to an unreli-

stick to their stated demands
