Meanwhile, people all over the world were focusing on another place in the Imperial Capital, the Great Hall where the Iridium Star Chancellor Bai Zhongqi was holding talks with representatives from China.
For Bai Zhongqi, the meeting was more ceremonially significant than substantively so. Neither party would delve deeply into discussing specific issues, similar to the 30-person delegation previously; it was merely a display of friendly gestures. Both Bai Zhongqi and the other side were somewhat restrained, and the conversation was more diplomatic.
After the closed-door meeting was a joint press conference by both parties, which was the real message intended for the public.
