Summary: "Calling the Charge to a 9:00 pm "urgent meeting," Assistant Foreign Minister Cui Tiankai said China has "clearly" told the United States that Burma is a matter of national security for China, that there is no present threat from Burma to regional peace and security, that none of Burma?s neighbors support a UNSC resolution and that China will "vote against" a Burma resolution if it is brought to a vote. The PRC will inform other UNSC members and make a public announcement of its opposition unless a solution is reached imminently, but, in any case, China will vote against a resolution. CDA stressed the need for a resolution, highlighted that we have kept the PRC informed of our views and said we planned for a vote on January 12. Cui said China and the United States have recently worked well together on tough issues such as Iran and North Korea at the UNSC. He feared that by forcing a confrontation, the United States will endanger that cooperation. Asked about whether the revisions to the draft text would have an impact on Beijing?s position, a working-level official said that the PRC opposition is to a resolution and not specific text."
