Chen Guangcheng Arrives in US Saturday

CNN - 05/21/2012

The Chinese activist Chen Guangcheng has arrived in the United States on Saturday where he plans on attending University. Chen was able to obtain a visa and passport after a tense standoff where Chen feared for himself and his families well being after he enraged the Chinese Government by seeking asylum at a US Embassy. This occured days before Hilary Clinton arrived in China for regularly scheduled meeting with the Chinese Governement. While the ability for Chen to come to United States was seen as a human rights victory, he has stated that he has unfinished business back in China.
