There was no negotiation offered by the Chinese delegation; although the PRC stated it would allow Tibet to reform at its own pace and in its own way, keep internal affairs self-governing and allow religious freedom; it would also have to agree to be part of China.
Der var ingen forhandlinger fra den kinesiske delegations side; selvom Kina sagde, at det ville tillade Tibet at reformere i sit eget tempo og på sin egen måde holde internt selvstyrende og tillade religionsfrihed, skulle det også tvinges til at acceptere at være en del af Kina.
