(hoping for "an agreement that would fall short of full diplomatic ties but would address key issues at the heart of the bitter divide between the Vatican and Beijing")

Note: The VOA report states, "在中国与罗马教廷断交之后的1957年，中国成立天主教爱国会。 * * * 北京切断与罗马教廷关系时，上海神父 [bishop at the time] 龚品梅拒绝认同爱国会，为此坐了30年的牢，出狱后旅居美国，在2000年去世。已故教宗约翰·保罗二世于1979年秘密册封当时仍在狱中的龚品梅 [Ignatius KUNG Pin-Mei] 为枢机主教 [cardinal]。"

PRC has never established diplomatic relations with the Holy See. (And ROC-Holy See has never severed diplomatic relations.) So it is wrong to say "中国与罗马教廷断交." See China–Holy See relations
