Chief UN arms inspector Hans Blix and an advance team of about two dozen arrived in Iraq's Baghdad on Monday.
Chief UN arms inspector Hans Blix is to deliver a report to the Security Council on Monday.
" I wanted to make my own judgment on collectivism, " says Blix.
Senior British government minister Lord Falconer rebuffed Blix's comment and said Britain's inquiry would provide answers.
Blix would go to a restaurant or out on the streets if there was something sensitive to talk about.
But Blix said he had no hard evidence listening devices had been planted.
Blix first set foot on the Chinese mainland in Guangzhou in 1964, when he was working as a legal adviser in Hong Kong.
The weekend of diplomacy came after reports Friday to the Security Council by chief weapons inspectors Hans Blix and Mohammed ElBaradei.
Blix said he is " almost sure " diplomats will request another report in February.
Blix had said that if the documents are unavailable, the inspectors want to talk to people who carried out the destruction.
