China II--US view Saturday, June 19, 1999 Explanation of 'terrible mistake' should be sufficient, says US AGENCIES in Washington US special envoy Thomas Pickering has provided China with sufficient explanations that Nato's bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade was a mistake but the mission has failed to convince Beijing, a State Department official has acknowledged. The United States promised to compensate the families of three Chinese journalists who were killed and those injured to make amends. "We believe that the information Ambassador Pickering provided is sufficient to demonstrate that the bombing was a terrible mistake," spokesman James Foley said. Beijing on Thursday rejected the explanation from US Under-Secretary of State Mr Pickering, which Xinhua said was "by no means acceptable to the Chinese Government and people". Mr Foley said the US "did not expect there to be a change in [Beijing's] attitude merely upon the presentation of the report". He indicated that the US had no intention of sending another mission to China. "We would expect the Chinese will have an opportunity to study [the report] further," he said. "We will have to see where we go from here." The spokesman said the US and China would also be discussing the issues relating to personal losses and property damage through normal diplomatic channels. Mr Foley said Mr Pickering announced Washington's commitment to providing payment to the families of those killed and to the injured. He also said he hoped the department would soon release the report Mr Pickering presented to China. Privately, US officials said they believed Sino-US relations would resume a semblance of normality eventually because the two countries share too many interests, including their mutual support for Chinese membership of the World Trade Organisation.
