Two and one half hours of talks today with the Chinese and no one is budging. The Chinese still put all the blame on the U.S., while the Yanks reject that and tell the Chinese to return their plane.
The Chinese say "nope." You cave in first and then we'll talk. Chinese say talks will resume. U.S. says not until our plane is returned.
U.S. spokesmen say this has nothing to do with plans to sell missile interceptor destroyers to Tawian. Sure.
