Eyes on China after Hillary deal on dissident

AFP, Beijing
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ended a tense visit to China yesterday with a fragile deal in hand over a top dissident, as anxious activists waited to see if Beijing would let him leave the country.
After a turbulent week in ties between the Pacific powers, the United States said Friday that China would move soon to allow blind rights campaigner Chen Guangcheng to go to the United States with his family to study.
New York University said it had invited him to attend the institution.
Chen, who has alleged beatings under house arrest in conditions that are unusually harsh even by Chinese standards, dramatically escaped and took refuge in the US embassy on April 26, days before Hillary was due on a visit.
US officials, saying that Chen never requested asylum, escorted him to a Beijing hospital on Wednesday and said China had assured his safety. But Chen later said he felt unsafe and wanted to
leave China, at least temporarily.
He was still believed to be in the hospital where a heavy security detail has kept journalists and supporters from entering.
T Kumar, the Washington-based advocacy director for Amnesty International, welcomed the agreement but said it was critical to watch if China follows through and ends harassment of Chen's family and those who assisted him.
Bob Fu, an exiled Chinese Christian
activist who was instrumental in putting the case on the global radar, had criticised the initial deal but commended Hillary and Gary Locke, the US ambassador to China, for the latest agreement.
Chen exposed forced abortions, some late in women's pregnancies, and sterilisations under China's "one-child” population control policy. He defied pressure to stay silent after a four-year jail term that ended in 2010.
US officials appeared to be keeping the details of Friday's agreement deliberately vague, fearing that it would fall through if China felt embarrassed on its home soil.
The State Department said it expected China to move "expeditiously" to grant Chen a passport to leave. China said publicly only that Chen had a right to go abroad to study.
While Chen marked the biggest human rights crisis between the countries in years, US officials were relieved — and perhaps even surprised — that it did not derail the entire relationship.
