    AFP: Chinese Government Says It is Ready to Mend Ties with France

    Last year saw the Chinese government enraged at His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s warm welcome in France by President Nicolas Sarkozy. The Agence France-Presse reports that Wu Hongbo, China’s Assistant Foreign Minister, has said:

      We are ready to work with France to improve our bilateral relations. This is in the interest of the two countries and their people. France is a great country, French people are great people. We very much hope that there will be an improvement in bilateral relations, however, as the Chinese saying goes, the one who tied the knot should be the one who unties it. As the one who tied the knot, France, I believe, is clear about what needs to be done.

    Sigh…
