"..From the Jus' so's ya know Department..": U.S. moves to compensate Chinese State Department negotiators report progress at meeting DEUTSCHE PRESSE-AGENTUR BEIJING, July 16 — China and the United States made progress during two days of talks about U.S. compensation to victims of the May 7 botched NATO bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, but agreed to meet again for further discussions, a U.S. official said Friday. U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT legal adviser David Andrews, in a brief statement following the talks, said the U.S. hoped to make payments as soon as possible to compensate the families of three journalists killed and about 20 others injured during an airstrike in NATO's Kosovo offensive. “The atmosphere was productive and professional. We made progress on these sensitive and complex issues,” Andrews told journalists outside the U.S. embassy residence building in Beijing. Andrews added that both sides had also raised their respective property claims, indicating he and his negotiating partner Susan Shirk, deputy assistant secretary for East Asia and the Pacific, asked the Chinese side to pay for damage done to several U.S. missions in China during four days of rioting following the bomb attack. The attack sparked four days of violent anti-American demonstrations by angry Chinese students and workers across 20 mainland cities. On Thursday, Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhang Qiyue indicated Beijing was unwilling to discuss the issue on the same level as the NATO bomb attack. U.S. LAWMAKERS' DEMANDS Some U.S. lawmakers have demanded China pay to repair American missions pelted by stones, hunks of concrete, paint and the occasional firebomb during the May 8-11 demonstrations. Zhang also indicated Thursday that Beijing remained unconvinced the bomb attack was an accident based on faulty intelligence gathering. Andrews and Shirk were not prepared to add to the June 17 oral explanation by U.S. Undersecretary of State Thomas Pickering to unconvinced Chinese officials in Beijing, a U.S. embassy official said on Thursday. The U.S. team was, however, to have tried to reach agreement on the more complicated issue of paying for damage done to the Chinese embassy building by five 2,000-pound bombs Washington contends were meant to hit a Yugoslav military procurement office. Andrews made no mention of this in his statement to journalists on Friday. Regards, John :-)
