Chen Guangcheng, Blind 'Barefoot Lawyer,' Flees House Arrest In China

[DF-41 ICBM]

means if you oppose CCP's tyranny,you'll face jail.don't wake up chinese citizen from "enchanted dream" of "Middle Kingdom(golden cage)" made by CCP..

funny logic..

you will not understand it, you have been brainwashed by your media.

government is government, thats why its in charge. chinese government have done a magnificent job in making the chinese motherland powerful and influencial globally. the people will allow the government to continue this good job.

in india, sikhs and tamils cant even get independence from indian tyranny.
and india cant get independence from american tyranny.

we pride ourselves on having freedom to conduct an independent foreign policy, thats freedom.
getting a vote is not freedom, its calling being bought out by corporations.

to be a great nation, you need to have an independent foreing policy, you are respected. thats why no one gives a flying fark about india unless america decides it need to use india as a counter to china. india is never thought of as challenging america because india is totally under washington control. your colony will never threaten you, because your colony will obey your orders. that is why india baely gets a mention unless america wants a favour to contain china.

freedom is so sweet. hopefully india can one day gain independence too like china and have its own independent foreign policy.
but right now, india just a vassal state of the Us.

Strange thing is the solution is so simple.

China: Chen who? Oh him an unapreciative trouble maker your welcome to him if he wants to go to the US great.

Problem solved

All this ranting about the US interfering and belicose statements just make it look like China has some thing to hide.

Actually the evidence was not hard for damaged property, especially for disturbing the railway. Since he was indeed the brain and abetter of this, the charges had fallen on him.


He was not charged for that, wasn't he?


Obviously they did more than that, otherwise he wouldn't be charged with damaging public property. Don't ever underestimate the distructive force of an angery mob.


Read his words carefully. He said that in 2008 and was quoted in《Letter to President Hu Jintao to Stop Harrassment of Advocates for Social Justice》by his then lawyers. 90 or 100 people were the people who were harrassing him in his home town. Those people were involved in the case he was investigating into his villiage local government. I doubt that China could even spare 50 police just to watch over some blind guy as China's police force was very understaffed.




See, that is the whole flaw with this article. The article said that he was under housed arrest in Beijing, but in reality he was in his home villiage Dongshigu Villiage where Christian Bale actually did a decumentary about him called <<Dongshigu Villiage>> in 2011. If you do a google search of that place, you would know how far it is actually from Beijing. The former Chongqing police commissioner and vice mayor Wang Lijun even with all his connections and resources could not even dare to go that far to Beijing to avoid prosecution from Bo Xilai without detection, but rather went to US consulate in nearby Chengdu and wait for people from Beijing to get him there. So again if he was under that much surveilliance and the government is really out to get him, he couldn't have got to beijing by plane, train or highway. One thing was made clear to the public knowledge is that the local officials at Dongshigu Villiage was trying to cut off his contact with outsiders. There is no doubt that there were many wrong doings including the case that Chen had investigated in. The irony here is at villiage level the head of local government was actually elected by local residents democratically.

are you for real? are you really thinking we would fall for what the party has told you to say?

where is the evidence of the destruction?
where is the evidence showing he advocated destruction. a human rights activist being the most passive of natured people, the non violent school of thought
The letter he sent , even the one line you quoted- says clearly police and party members were harassing his family. Harassment was not in the form of taunting. It was house arrest.
Christian bale video showed such harassment, showed secret police following them after disallowing them from meeting with the lawyer.

How do you explain his relatives , friends all being arrested now then- what country besides brutal regimes do you see relatives , friends , extended families of people being arrested on no charges and a supposedly free man as according to you?
how do you explain him being asked to be returned by Chinese authorities?


amazing - this ability to make all rights activists into some terror subjugators, it almost beyond laughable!
as laughable as the notion of the commissioner of police was a guy who went to the US embassy because he thought it would a good rest stop to wait while Chinese authorities came.

His stupidvisor is asking his stupidvisor who is also asking his stupidvisor on the availability of the next script printing. Patience. This is a case where everyone is scrambling to CYA. Pass the buck as much as possible.

What a great cartoon. it shows that China's government has great concern for human rights. Otherwise he'd be run over, the way Sikhs were run over in Operation Blue Star.

CHINA'S tightly controlled state media has remained silent over the blind human rights advocate Chen Guangcheng, who is believed to have sought sanctuary in the US embassy, despite debate raging across the nation's microblogs and Washington's urgent dispatch of a senior envoy to Beijing to avert a diplomatic crisis.


US Assistant Secretary of State Kurt Campbell arrived in Beijing on Sunday and is said to have begun high-level talks with his Chinese counterparts.


Bob Fu, of the Texas-based rights group ChinaAid, said the two countries were "eager to solve this issue" to prevent it from overshadowing the visit of US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for an annual strategic and economic dialogue, beginning on Thursday.


''The Chinese top leaders are deliberating a decision to be made very soon, maybe in the next 24 to 48 hours,'' Mr Fu said, citing a source close to the US and Chinese governments.


But other analysts said the negotiations could be stalemated for a long time, with Beijing keen to assert itself in the relationship and Washington keen to avoid further complicating bilateral ties.


"This is the greatest test in bilateral relations in years, probably going back to 1989,'' said Chris Johnson, until recently a senior CIA China analyst, referring to the crackdown on student protests in Tiananmen Square.


Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney has also weighed in, pressuring the Obama administration to protect Mr Chen and his family.


''My hope is that US officials will take every measure to ensure that Chen and his family members are protected from further persecution,'' he said. ''Our country must play a strong role in urging reform in China and supporting those fighting for the freedoms we enjoy.''


Both China and the US have refused to confirm whether Mr Chen has sought refuge in the US embassy, as supporters of the high-profile activist contend. The claim was repeated by prominent Chinese activist Hu Jia yesterday, who had met with Mr Chen last week after his escape. Mr Hu was himself only released after being detained and questioned for 24 hours.

China media blackout on fugitive dissident - World News - World - General - Kiama Independent


Did not take long for china to make sure its ultra sensitive masses don't ' read' news about this , fearing that it's citizens are too immature to handle " news"

Really?..How do independent foreign policy of a nation equate to personnel freedom of its citizens when the said citizens have no rights or freedom to oppose govt policies?Even the policies as personnel as forced sterilization..?Anyway i would surely like to know your opinion on what is "freedom"?Do reply..

freedom is so sweet. hopefully india can one day gain independence too like china and have its own independent foreign policy.
but right now, india just a vassal state of the Us.

Your comments on india clearly portrays your ignorance about history and foreign policy of india.For starters here is one fact-India have supported US only in 11% of UN resolution brought by them.For the rest please look up at our history.So stop that bs right there.

Since you are again commenting on sweetness of freedom,i ask again,please define what is "freedom" in your opinion..?

 

[GR!FF!N]

you will not understand it, you have been brainwashed by your media.

you must say western media and USA...we,all people of "Democratic" countries are..only free media available in this world is in China and all the truth lies in the words of their "Heavenly messages"...deadly !dea sir ji... now say "3G"..

government is government, thats why its in charge. chinese government have done a magnificent job in making the chinese motherland powerful and influencial globally. the people will allow the government to continue this good job.

thats why you'll ever be ruled by tyrannical CCP,because you think its their job to rule you.in this part of the world (Maybe except glorious "Middle Kingdom" China) everyone is born free,we choose our government.and they are "Public Servants",not our "Master"..

in india, sikhs and tamils cant even get independence from indian tyranny.
and india cant get independence from american tyranny.

lol,tamils just want another state,not independence.and sikh movements were long gone.most of the sikhs never supported it.thats why they failed miserably.

we pride ourselves on having freedom to conduct an independent foreign policy, thats freedom.
getting a vote is not freedom, its calling being bought out by corporations.

and we don't have independent foreign policy,right????we are still importing oil from Iran..

to be a great nation, you need to have an independent foreing policy, you are respected. thats why no one gives a flying fark about india unless america decides it need to use india as a counter to china. india is never thought of as challenging america because india is totally under washington control. your colony will never threaten you, because your colony will obey your orders. that is why india baely gets a mention unless america wants a favour to contain china.

we never challenge anyone.we always prefer peaceful existence.thats why no one consider us a threat.look at china,they don't even got regional supremacy,but already made so many enemies.good luck with your "warning" foreign policy.

freedom is so sweet. hopefully india can one day gain independence too like china and have its own independent foreign policy.
but right now, india just a vassal state of the Us.

since 1970,china was being a vessel state of USA.your economy was built on american contribution.and we are vessel state of USA!!!!!!!! hats off..live in your dreamworld.
