Summary: "At the October 12 bi-weekly G-5 Chiefs of Mission gathering, UK Ambassador William Ehrman said that China?s concerns in Burma are driven by the long common border, the 2.5 million ethnic Chinese in Burma, the 150,000 PRC citizens living there and the 3,000 Chinese companies active in the country. French DCM Nicholas Chapuis argued that PRC support for a UN Security Council Presidential Statement on Burma marks a major policy shift for the Chinese. Japanese DCM Umeda reported no progress on Sino-Japanese resource cooperation in the East China Sea, citing the median line, China?s prior investment in the area and territorial concerns as stumbling blocks. The French DCM reported that preparations for French President Nicolas Sarkozy?s November 25-27 visit to China are not yet finalized." End Summary.
