BEIJING, May 2 (Reuters) - Blind Chinese dissident Chen Guangcheng told
journalists he feared for his life and wanted to leave China on Wednesday,
throwing into chaos an agreement between the United States and China under
which he would have remained in the country.
Guangcheng earlier left the U.S. Embassy in Beijing after a six-day stay
after securing guarantees that, according to U.S. officials, would have
allowed him to relocate within the country in safety with his family and
pursue his studies.
Accepting that outcome, which was excruciatingly negotiated between the
United States and China, entailed some risk that the Chinese authorities
might not live up to the guarantees, and the dissident appeared to have a
change of heart about his chances. |
