The Reagan Administration urged China to remove curbs on the travel of U.S. diplomats, saying it is considering whether to further limit the movement of Chinese envoys in the United States. The dispute grew out of severe limitations placed by China on the travel of American officials stationed at the U.S. Consulate in Shenyang last year. In response to the Chinese curbs, Washington banned officials at the Chinese Consulate in Chicago from driving beyond the city and its suburbs without permission. The Administration said it was “disappointed” by the inconclusive result of talks on the subject held earlier this month in Beijing.
