It had nothing to do with improper use of a press pass, or disrupting a public function. The charge was "willfully intimidating, coercing, threatening and harassing a foreign official."

As I have said before, I cannot believe we're doing China's bidding on this. I agree with your comments.

They must laugh their asses off behind close doors.
