“Meeting opened 1100 on item 3. Hsieh referred to UNC insistence on rotation and replacement, and to his side’s objection to ‘interference in internal affairs.’ UNC repeated position of rotation and replacement and airfields from record of Dec 15. Hsieh stated the 2 questions above must be settled. UNC asked if Hsieh had anything new to propose. Hsieh replied no, insisted his side had made many concessions to UNC views, it was UNC’s turn to make a move.
