829. Telegram 145 from Prague1
145. I have now received from Geneva text Wang’s September 16 press statement which I understand has been transmitted Department by USIS Geneva. My opinion statement does not introduce any new element and requires no reply except recommend Department reply to inquiries on his charges concerning Chinese in US by referring fact no representations yet received from Indian Embassy on single case alleged obstruction.
While CHICOMS now demanding US recognition principle “equality and reciprocity” with respect this matter, his statement strengthens my belief they not necessarily insisting on one for one exchange.
