The first was held in Geneva, Switzerland, August 1st, 1955, between Wang Bingnan, PRC ambassador to Poland and U. Alexis Johnson, US ambassador to Czechoslovakia. Since 1958, the meetings began to be held in Myślewicki Palace, Warsaw, Poland between Wang Guoquan, PRC ambassador to Poland and Jacob D. Beam, United States Ambassador to Poland. In 1961, Wang Bingnan rejected Beam's suggestion that China consider allowing privately sent food parcels from America.[1] After 1970, US began to contact PRC formally and substituted the meetings with other channels.[2]
