At the beginning of the Bermuda conference Mac Tse-tung advised the
Soviet Ambassador of the following possibilities for Communist China:
first, taking its own steps to secure recognition in case Soviet
support fails to achieve the objective; second, no support for UK
mediation between Communist China and the US; third, unlimited efforts,
without any Soviet intervention, to pursue conversations with the
US in the hope of an alteration of opinion in favor of Communist
China in view of the latter's enormous need for goods of all kinds.
2. The Soviet Ambassador made mention of the enormous cost of holding an
international conference. Communist China thereupon offered to meet
50 percent of the costs if the USSR could persuade the West to agree
to a five power conference.
