The Vatican and China.

I've just received the Vatican Information Service e-mail which had as one of its items the following:

DECLARATION BY HOLY SEE PRESS OFFICE DIRECTOR

VATICAN CITY, JUN 27, 2006 (VIS) - Holy See Press Office Director Joaquin Navarro-Valls released the following declaration at midday today:

"I have no comments to make on news that has appeared in various organs of the press concerning ongoing contacts between a Holy See delegation and the Chinese authorities."

Given that they're being forced into making such a statement, does this imply that things are moving between Beijing and the Vatican? If so, it should be excellent news for the Church in China.
