An American University? I would bet it is THE American University in Washington DC. When I was a graduate student at AU, back in the 80s, there were just as many Chinese graduate students as Americans... or it sure seemed so!

'bam cut a deal with the Chi-coms:

"look," he said
"I'll have a lot more flexibility after my election, and send him back
-- and who knows, a year or so at one of our universities could straighten him out."

To be honest, I think this was the best way to resolve this issue. The Chinese are all about saving face.

Right in Washington so if he causes any trouble for Obama's Sino-American alliance he and his family can be bundled up and hustled right back to China.
