Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:

- The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
- The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.

To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.
Discussing cables

    Spokesperson Liu Jianchao announced at the regular
    April 11 MFA press briefing.  Vice Foreign Minister
    Yang Jiechi will offer a preview of the trip during a

    President Hu will arrive in Seattle on April 18, visit
    Washington, D.C., on April 20 and deliver a speech at

    ties and major international issues, as well as
    interact with U.S. Congressmen, state and municipal
    officials, business representatives and the American
    public.  President Hu's U.S. visit aims to promote
    mutual trust and constructive cooperation.  Asked
    about U.S. pressure on China with regard to
    intellectual property rights and the RMB exchange
    rate, Liu expressed the hope that the visit will help
    reduce differences and allow for candid discussions in
    an atmosphere of mutual respect.

    ¶3.  Asked by the Bloomberg correspondent what message
    President Hu will deliver on Taiwan, Liu stated that
    on numerous occasions Washington has reiterated its
    opposition to Taiwan independence as well as support
    for its one-China policy and the principles of the
    Three Joint Communiques.  Beijing appreciates these
    commitments, hopes they will translate into actions
    and wishes to work with the United States to safeguard
    cross-Strait peace and stability.  Questioned by the
    Reuters correspondent about the recent call by U.S.

    release Legal Permanent Resident (LPR) Yang Jianli,
    Liu maintaied that China has always attempted to
    resolvebilateral differences on the basis of
    equality, mutual respect and dialogue.  Previous
    rounds of U.S.-China human rights dialogue have helped
    reduce disputes.  China's legal and judicial
    authorities will handle Yang's case according to the
    law.

    ¶4.  Asked whether discussions over oil will be
    President Hu's top priority for the Africa portion of
    the trip, Liu stated that energy cooperation is one
    important but not the only component of China's
    bilateral cooperation.  In order to satisfy its energy
    needs China will not rely solely on imports but rather
    depend on domestic energy resources, which supply 80
    percent of current energy consumption.  President Hu's
    trip will enhance cooperation in various fields,
    including energy, culture and personnel exchanges.  In
    addition to his speech at Yale on China's peaceful
    development path, President Hu will address the Saudi

    China's relations with Nigeria and Africa.

    Northeast Asia Cooperation Dialogue (NEACD).  Meeting
    outside of the NEACD, he and all his Six-Party Talks
    counterparts are exchanging views on ways to resume
    the Talks.  VFM Wu stressed that dialogue will help
    resolve the DPRK nuclear issue and that the parties

    investigation into North Korean money laundering
    schemes, Liu expressed Beijing's opposition to money

    concentrate on the DPRK nuclear issue and use the
    Talks as a mechanism to resolve the issue.

    China Senior Dialogue and will help increase mutual
    understanding.

    reported remarks by a Japanese Embassy official on

    BEIJING 00006852  003 OF 003

    Chinese television about a rise in Chinese
    nationalism, Liu rejected the Japanese official's
    remarks and asserted that China disagrees with "narrow
    nationalism."  Beijing opposes such "smears," which
    are not helpful for the improvement of China-Japan
    relations.  Tokyo should "face up" to the problems in
    bilateral ties and try to promote normal relations.

    of China for contributing to the war in Sudan, Liu
