Outgoing Cable No. 5513 Separate Telegram 3: China

(Prime Minister) Chinese leaders will probably attend the APEC non-official summit meeting. On the political side, there are various issues, but Japan hopes that the US-China relationship goes well. The United States has some concerns about China, which our country shares, but our country thinks it desirable, basically, to respond positively to China.
