Press Briefing Wednesday's top stories Deal on China WTO entry close Compiled by CBS MarketWatch Last Update: 0:04 AM ET Sep 29, 1999 SHANGHAI, China (CBS.MW) -- China's chief trade negotiator said that his country and the U.S. are "very close" to a deal that would allow China to enter the World Trade Organization but that differences could still scuttle a deal. Long Yongtu, vice minister for foreign trade and Beijing's point man on WTO talks, on Tuesday played down fears that his absence as talks resumed briefly Monday in Washington meant China isn't eager for a deal. The talks now are "basically a political decision," he said, in explaining why Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Shi Guangsheng led the Chinese delegation to Washington. "Both sides already know the negotiating positions of the other side, and now we have to make some difficult ... decisions," Long said in an interview with Cable News Network in Shanghai. "I think we are very close." The Wall Street Journal
