It appears as though the media and Team Obama were working hand in hand to keep this anti-abortion activist under the thumb of China's government.

Except Twitter exposed their lies.

“Cull compared the Chen saga with what happened after the U.S. negotiated the 1997 release of Wei Jingsheng, a Chinese democracy activist who had spent more than 17 years in prison. U.S. officials tried to persuade Voice of America not to air an interview with Wei, fearing it would offend China.”

Gee, and who was the president back then?
The comparisons never cease.
Deja vu all over again.

Wonder if we’ll ever find out what Obama offered & gave the Chinese to clear up this embarrassing mess?

Twitter and its Chinese equivalent, Sina Weibo, have also fueled false rumors about Chen. Some reporters flocked to the Washington airport to meet Chen upon his reported arrival from China, only to find that they'd been misled, the Epoch Times reported.

I love it! I bet that the dopes had questions like "Are you going straight to the White House to thank PRESIDENT! Obama?" "How do you feel about PRESIDENT! Obama?"

.. and some advice for Mr. Chen from the American "news" media "Here's how Americans feel about PRESIDENT! Obama, will you say this please: 'Obama! Obama! Mmmm mmmm mmm.'"

Right from the start, Chinese media reported that Chen would have to go back to his home province to apply for a foreign student visa. That is a death sentence for Chen and his family. No wonder he felt betrayed, he was. There is no way the Obama administration will expend political capital for an anti abortionist unless forced by bad publicity. We’ll see how this plays out but I wouldn’t bet on Chen. I hope I’m wrong.
