"This is a technical issue. We handle these issues. Your Joint Secretary has mentioned and I have said that we will look into this. I have talked to our people. So what can I do for you," said the Chinese diplomat to the scribe.

He further said "shut up is not something that changes the nature of these things because we are handling this in a friendly way."
