The problem with “flummoxed” could be that it sounds too much like “ten-percent-for-the-big-guy” in Mandarin.

overly dramatic. Means bewildered and perplexed. I don’t agree with applying emotional adjectives for countries and organizations.

The officials didn’t find an answer yet, I seriously doubt they are experiencing bewilderment.
