Behind Twists of Diplomacy in the Case of a Chinese Dissident

Days of drama preceded the agreement between the United States and China in the case of Chen Guangcheng, but the negotiations ultimately reflected a maturing relationship, officials said.
I have no idea when this photograph was taken of Chen Guangcheng. I hope he is healing and I pray for him, his whole family and country.

State Department spokeswoman, Victoria Nuland, says New York University (NYU) has offered a Fellowship to Study in the USA, for China’s Chen Guangcheng. NYU has offered Chen, to be able to come to the United States, on a Visa for him and his immediate family. The Visa is only for a few months.

My Two Cents Worth

Obviously, China and the US Diplomats get to “save face” however, does this really help Chen Guangcheng? Does anyone get it, that he has probably got PTSD, and needs to adjust? That this is just heavy cosmetics, on a terrible human rights issue. If his future is still not stable, how is he going to settle down? He needs to be able to feel at home here, and feel safe here, and so does his family. I hope this works out for him. It remains to be seen. I will continue to pray for Chen, his family and for China.
