“officials in Washington and Beijing confirmed that the Chinese conveyed the message that they would not allow his family to remain in Beijing if Chen did not leave. He was informed of this and soon after agreed to the deal and said he was ready to go.

He was never pressured to leave,” U.S. Ambassador Gary Locke said today in Beijing, adding that Chen was asked at one point whether he wanted asylum and he declined.
“He was excited and eager when he made his decision to announce it,” Locke said.”

FORWARD!
O loves those Chicoms.
