Instead of agreeing to a second day of talks, the United States will be sending U.S. Ambassador Joseph Prueher to the Chinese Foreign Ministry on Thursday to express U.S. dissatisfaction over China's failure to address the spy plane question. He will tell the Chinese that "it makes sense to continue meeting only if the Chinese are prepared to discuss the return of the plane," the White House official said."We want to begin discussion on it; we just want to have a discussion on it," he said.The official added there will be no discussions on any other issues — the cause of the accident and mechanisms to prevent future incidents — until China starts talking about the plane.White House officials said the delegation in Beijing would be leaving Friday, no matter what the outcome.
