	Confusion rampant over China and Taiwan
		He said most of the ministers previously against the arrangement have now backed down and a united decision and statement in support for establishing diplomatic ties with Taiwan is likely to be issued soon.
		Minister Jimmy said that the Council of Ministers has made its decision and until they make a statement revoking it, the position on China has not changed.
		The issue is a sensitive one as depending on the outcome either the Council of ministers will look foolish for making public a pro China stand and then backing down or the Prime Minister will lose face for not being able to get approval for his agreement with Taiwan.
