Destabilizes (Chen Guangcheng) China
The John Batchelor Show ^ | May 2, 2012 | John Batchelor

Spoke China hands Gordon Chang, Perry Link, Kelley Currie, Ann Lee, Bob Fu, Joseph Sternberg, re the Chen Guangcheng crisis in Beijing to learn the the US Embassy had plenty of reason to know that Chen was threatened BEFORE he decided to leave the sanctuary of the U.S. Embassy and enter a Chinese hospital.

This is a major detail and will be the center of contention when Congress insistes upon hearings with China Ambassador Gary Locke and SecState HRC. What did you kno and when did you know it about threats to Chen's family by Chinese authorities? All this is dangerous detail on the timeline. State careers in the balance; Chen's life in the balance.

China relations with US in the balance. Gordon Chang makes excellent argument that Chen returning into China embrace now destabilizes China. Just 24 hours after POTUS Obama campaign stunt in Kabul, the China fiasco removes the Afghanistan headlines with a crisis in Beijing.

Chen reportedly tells Melinda Liu, Newsweek, that he and his family want to leave on HRC plane. Meanwhile, PRC demands an apology from US. How else can State mishandle this? Stay focused on White House.

Best radio coverage of this China thing you could imagine.

This is one of a very few radio shows that really seeks to inform without using the “I’m right, everybody else is wrong!” format.

KSFO 560 AM in Silicon Valley, 6-8 PM.

Not to mention that one of Cheng’s friends tweeted that his family was being threatened and he didn’t leave on his own free will and Locke and Clinton both knew this. The truth is coming out and they have no where to hide.
