Neo Tokyo wishes to have a meeting with the United States of China.

The United States of China acknowledges your request. Please sent representatives to Guangzhou.

A unnamed representative arrived in Guangzhou. Upon being escorted to the USC representative, he spoke, "Neo Tokyo wishes to have good relations with USC. Although we had trouble in the past over Taiwan, I do not see why hostile feelings should continue. Therefore, we have intentions on accepting the proposal you sent. Our leader has already signed it."
