It’s the same old song and dance between Apple and Chinese wireless carriers. In the latest round of we-said they-said negotiations surrounding the iPhone, China Mobile’s CEO Wang Jianzhou confirmed that Apple and China Mobile were still in talks to bring the iPhone to China, but no deal has yet been made.

Wang told reporters in Hong Kong that “We have been discussing with Apple, but until now no agreement has been reached,” adding that “The door of China Mobile’s network is always open.”

Apple has been trying to crack the Chinese market with the iPhone, but has been thus far unsuccessful. China Unicom recently confirmed talks with Apple over the iPhone, playing off China Mobile then-recent negotiation breakdowns with Apple.
