    Summary
    -------

    ¶1. (C) At the regular meeting of G-5 Ambassadors in Beijing
    May 8, French DCM Nicholas Chapuis reported that State
    Councilor Dai Bingguo told visiting former French President
    Chirac that the West would not gain from more sanctions on
    North Korea.  Dai reportedly said that "the lever of economic
    development" had not been used effectively in Six-Party Talks
    and that a U.S.-DPRK dialogue was "the only way to make
    progress."  German Ambassador Michael Schaefer reported that
    Germany had informed China of the U.S. request to accept some
    Uighur detainees held at Guantanamo and had been subsequently
    warned by China of "a heavy burden on bilateral relations" if
    Germany were to accept any detainees.  Japanese DCM Kunio
    Umeda reported that Premier Wen Jiabao was "tired and seemed
    under a lot of pressure" during his meeting with visiting
    Prime Minister Taro Aso, while President Hu Jintao was
    "relaxed and confident."  According to UK DCM Chris Wood,
    China had requested the UK not allow the Dalai Lama to
    transit London or meet with any government officials.  Wood
    reported that local authorities in Gansu Province had
    detained a British Consul, reflecting the authorities' angst
    over foreigners traveling to the Tibetan regions of the
    province.  End Summary.

    Participants
    ------------

    ¶2. (C) French DCM Nicholas Chapuis hosted German Ambassador
    Dr. Michael Schaefer, Japanese DCM Kunio Umeda, UK DCM Chris
    Wood and Acting DCM May 8 for the regular gathering of
    Beijing-based G-5 Chiefs of Mission.

    Chirac's Visit to China, DPRK, Africa
    -------------------------------------

    ¶3. (C) French DCM Nicholas Chapuis reported that President Hu
    had not mentioned Tibet in his meeting with visiting former
    French President Jacques Chirac.  State Councilor Dai Bingguo
    had told Chirac that the West would not gain from more
    sanctions on North Korea and that a U.S.-DPRK dialogue was
    "the only way to make progress" in Six-Party Talks.  Dai
    reportedly said that North Korea wanted to open up
    economically and that the "lever of economic development" had
    not been used effectively in Six-Party Talks.  Dai suggested
    to Chirac that, given China and France's "conflict of
    interests" in Africa, the two countries should have a
    dialogue on Africa.

    Germany and Guantanamo Uighurs
    ------------------------------

    ¶4. (C) German Ambassador Schaefer said the German State
    Secretary had informed China of the U.S. request to accept
    some Uighur detainees held at Guantanamo, noting that Germany
    had not made a decision regarding the Uighurs.  He noted that
    no German state had yet agreed to accept the detainees.
    Ambassador Schaefer said China had not officially demarched
    Germany but had warned Germany that accepting any Uighur
    detainees would "put enormous pressure on Beijing and a heavy
    burden on bilateral relations."

    Sino-Japanese Relations
    -----------------------

    ¶5. (C) Japanese DCM Kunio Umeda reported that PM Taro Aso,
    who had visited Beijing April 29-30, had said Premier Wen
    Jiabao was "very tired and seemed under a lot of pressure"
    from dealing with the economic crisis, while President Hu
    Jintao had seemed "confident and relaxed."  PM Aso had
    requested China not implement its planned compulsory
    certification of IT products in China, while Premier Wen had
    insisted the law was consistent with China's WTO commitments.

    Dalai Lama
    ----------

    ¶6. (C) UK DCM Chris Wood reported that China had requested
    the UK not allow the Dalai Lama to transit London but
    softened the demarche by requesting that government officials
    not meet the Dalai Lama if he were to transit the country.
    French DCM Nicholas Chapuis said China's demarche was part of

    BEIJING 00001247  002 OF 002

    a campaign to limit the Dalai Lama's travel and noted that
    the Beijing city government had threatened to break its
    sister-city relationship with Paris if the Dalai Lama were to
    receive an honorary citizen award from the French capital.
    Ambassador Schaefer said Germany had not received such
    demands from the Chinese, in spite of the Dalai Lama's
    frequent trips to Germany.

    Harassment of UK Embassy Staff in Gansu
    ---------------------------------------

    ¶7. (C) UK DCM Wood said UK Energy and Climate Change
    Secretary Ed Miliband had recently visited Gansu Province and
    had been accompanied by a British journalist from "The
    Guardian."  According to Woodward, local Chinese authorities
    had briefly detained a British Consul to express displeasure
    with the accompanying journalist, who had stayed in Gansu
    without the authorities' permission after Secretary Miliband
    had departed.  "Local goons" had come to the traveling
    delegation's hotel and threatened to follow a UK Embassy
    female staffer (but did not).  In addition, a British
    "Financial Times" reporter in Sichuan had been harassed by
    local authorities who were apparently upset by the
    journalist's interest in reporting on schools destroyed
    during the Sichuan earthquake.

    Climate Change
    --------------

    ¶8. (C) UK DCM Wood said the UK Environment and Science
    Minister had recently had talks with Chinese officials on
    climate change.  In the lead up to Copenhagen, China would
    not agree to targets on emissions but was willing to be
    constructive and would come to Copenhagen with a package of
    action items related to nuclear power, renewable energy and
    reforestation.  Wood said his impression was that China could
    be induced to do more on climate change.

    Rule of Law
    -----------

    ¶9. (C) Ambassador Schaefer reported that German Minister of
    Justice Brigitte Zypries recently had visited China to attend
    a three-day rule of law dialogue on social security and
    pensions that was attended by 45 Chinese lawyers and judges.
    Schaefer said Germany and China would have another dialogue
    on a proposed law on regulating lawyers, noting that the
    Chinese Government was looking to give lawyers "more space"
    without giving up control.
