Just for shits and giggles I searched China in HRC's e mails and found this:

Worth a look — not least because, as you know, Cui Liru is our "partner" in the US/China/India Track II
Trialogue.

Searched the name Cui Liru and found this:
Wednesday, September 28, 2011
When Vice President Joseph R. Biden met a group of five Chinese “think tank” experts in Beijing on Aug. 20, the meeting at the U.S. Embassy was billed in his official schedule as simply a round-table discussion with academics.
But a recent CIA report reveals the vice president was one of a long list of current and former U.S. and foreign officials who exchanged information with Cui Liru, one of the five experts identified as a longtime Ministry of State Security (MSS) intelligence officer working undercover as the head of China’s most important intelligence-analysis group.
Mr. Cui is head of the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations, known as CICIR (pronounced “kicker”). CICIR has a long history of supplying information to the CIA through agency-paid U.S. consultants who are dispatched yearly to CICIR’s offices in Beijing for discussions, according to U.S. officials.
Some of CICIR’s disinformation designed to influence U.S. policies is said to have shown up in some agency intelligence products, according to officials familiar with the reports.
CICIR experts also were quoted frequently in leaked U.S. Embassy cables reporting from China as “academics.” Not all of the more than 100 cables mentioning the group, however, identify the institute as “MSS-affiliated.”
