The Chinese Puzzle deepens as talks stall for spring
Negotiations on the Chinese question drag on with no progress and a possible spring settlement. The main issue remains the execution of Prince Tuan General Tung Fuh Sian and other Boxer uprising leaders. Germany and Britain favor execution while Japan the United States and Russia push for milder measures. Even if agreed, execution would be hard to carry out without imperial sanction. The Chinese court, far from Pekin, resists without the emperor and empress, aided by Tuan and Sian who slow the process. Winter weather and rough roads hinder troop movement, and London papers hint Chinese diplomats have skillfully played powers, potentially winning a quiet victory.
