(excerpts)

BEIJING - After a four-month hiatus, Chinese and U.S. trade officials resumed talks Monday on China's bid to enter the World Trade Organization, a U.S. official said.

''We're doing some stocktaking, just looking to see where we are on WTO negotiations,'' Cassidy told Associated Press Television News before Monday's meetings with his Chinese counterparts. Cassidy declined to comment after the meetings.

There is pressure to try to reach a deal by Saturday, when President Clinton and Chinese President Jiang Zemin are scheduled to join a summit of Pacific Rim leaders in New Zealand. Cassidy refused to comment on the prospects for an agreement by then.

Chinese officials refused to answer questions Monday, as is often the case during negotiations. ''We will let you know whenever it is time to let you know,'' said a Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation spokesman who gave only his surname, Zhao.
