WNU Editor: This is the 12th round of talks in the past 15 months. No progress was made then, and I expect no progress will be made with this round of talks.

I think the more interesting point to make is that China wants to keep talking after 12 rounds. VERY unusual.. maybe they realise they can take on a couple small countries but India is another beast. And the Chinese already have to worry about getting nukes any day now, given what they've done and still do today
I find this action by China to be what I would expect. The Han need more than a few black eyes on the international scene before their behavior changes.
Talk's with China can take as much time as they it's not ready. Then stop it and dictate what it wants.
John Horseface Kerry is envious. All that palavering and process and no results.
