Chinese Officials: Wikileaks Cables "best interdepartmental communication we've had for years"

Emergency meetings have been convened this week in Beijing in a special effort to “seriously study and analyze” the leaked cables from US embassies.

“There’s a lot of information to go through, and we should make an effort to properly analyze it,” said a spokesman surnamed Zhang at a hastily arranged press conference in the capital.

Surrounded by members of the local Chinese press, Zhang went onto say that “We’re stunned.  This is really the only time that we’ve been able to actually see what’s going on the country – this is best interdepartmental communication we’ve had in 30 years.”

Over the past few weeks, the cables have shown in minute detail the inner workings of the usually secretive diplomatic and political behind-the-scenes wrangling.

“They really were eye-opening.  Sure, we go out for parties and stuff, and we get official memos, but this is just above and beyond what we all imagined modern China to be like.  It really makes us proud to be Chinese – to think that local Chinese officials are having lunches with American diplomats really gives me hope for the future, “ a security guard at the Canadian embassy surname Zhang told us.
