US diplomat in Beijing as activist custody unknown
By SCOTT McDONALD
The Associated Press
BEIJING — A senior U.S. diplomat arrived in China on a hurried mission Sunday as new problems — from possible U.S. arms sales to Taiwan to the custody of a blind dissident — threaten to complicate relations with Beijing ahead of high-level talks.
In this photo taken in late April, 2012, and provided by Hu Jia, blind
Chinese legal activist Chen Guangcheng, left, meets with Hu at an
undisclosed location. Chen, an inspirational figure in China's rights
movement, slipped away from his well-guarded rural village on Sunday
night, April 22, 2012, and made it to a secret location in Beijing on
Friday, April 27, setting off a frantic police search for him and those
who helped him, activists said. (AP Photo/Courtesy of Hu Jia)
In this image made from video, blind legal activist Chen Guangcheng is
seen on a video posted to YouTube Friday, April 27, 2012 by overseas
Chinese news site Boxun.com. "I am now free. But my worries have not
ended yet," Chen said in the video that was recorded this week and that
activists sent Friday to Boxun.com. Speaking to a camera in a room with
an off-white curtain drawn behind him, Chen said, "My escape might
ignite a violent revenge against my family." (AP Photo/Boxun.com)

rights movement, escaped the house arrest he lived under for 18 months
in Shandong province this week. (AP Photo/Supporters of Chen Guangcheng,

The top U.S. diplomat for East Asia, Kurt Campbell, front, arrives at a
hotel in Beijing, China, in the early morning of Sunday, April 29,
2012. Campbell arrived in China apparently to deal with the case of
blind legal activist Chen Guangcheng who escaped house arrest in his
Chinese village and is reportedly under the protection of American
officials. Fellow activists say Chen Guangcheng, a blind lawyer who
exposed forced abortions and sterilizations as part of China's one-child
policy, fled house arrest a week ago and has sought protection at the
U.S. Embassy in Beijing. (AP Photo/Ng Han Guan)
Assistant Secretary of State Kurt Campbell avoided reporters, and the
U.S. Embassy declined to discuss his agenda. His trip, originally
scheduled for later this coming week, comes after the White House said
it is considering selling new warplanes to Taiwan and after dissident
legal activist Chen Guangcheng fled house arrest and ended up, rights
campaigners said, in the protection of American officials.
Both Chen's case, if he's in U.S. custody, and that of Taiwan touch on Beijing red lines against what it sees as meddling in China's domestic affairs. Beijing will have ample opportunity to voice its displeasure at an annual confab on Thursday and Friday attended by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and dozens of other officials.
The meeting, known as the strategic and economic dialogue, is supposed to provide ballast for the often-bumpy relations by giving top-level officials a chance to discuss problems and look for solutions. This year, while frictions over China's trade surplus and currency policies persist, Washington is seeking Beijing's help on global and regional trouble spots, from the conflict in Syria to Iran's and North Korea's nuclear programs.
Chen's case is likely to complicate things further. A campaigner against forced abortions and sterilizations, Chen spent four years in prison and then was kept in punitive house arrest for the past 20 months, despite the lack of legal grounds for doing so. Clinton and other U.S. officials have repeatedly raised his case, though Beijing did nothing to abate the confinement, occasional beatings and other harsh treatment.
If Chen is now in the U.S. Embassy or other diplomatic grounds, Beijing is likely to see it as evidence that Washington wants to subvert the communist government by aiding and encouraging political dissent.
Complicating any negotiations over Chen is the treatment of his family. While Chen escaped a week ago from Dongshigu village and made it 600 kilometers (370 miles) northwest to Beijing, his wife and child were left behind and their whereabouts are unknown.
Seven lawyers have volunteered to defend Chen's nephew, Chen Kegui, who allegedly confronted and stabbed local officials who stormed his house in the middle of the night on Thursday in apparent retribution for the activist's escape. Though activists said Kegui had been detained, the local government has denied holding him.

Diplomatic Memo
A New Pawn in China’s Two Tugs of War
By JANE PERLEZ
Published: April 28, 2012
BEIJING — The escape of a blind human rights lawyer from house
arrest, and apparently into the hands of American officials here, came
at an excruciatingly awkward time for the Chinese leadership as it
struggles to preserve a cohesive front after the spectacular dismissal
of Bo Xilai, a member of China’s Politburo.

The case of the lawyer, Chen Guangcheng, who is believed to be in the
United States Embassy in Beijing, poses a quandary for the leadership.
It is a blow to officials in charge of security and legal affairs, who
oversaw the controversial treatment of Mr. Chen, and then allowed him
escape their grasp.
But at the same time the issue could redound to the benefit of hard-liners, who may see his escape as part of a conspiracy to embarrass China that involves the United States, several diplomats here said.
For the Obama administration, the case presents multiple headaches. Mitt Romney, the likely Republican presidential nominee, has accused President Obama of essentially being soft on China, an argument that could limit Mr. Obama’s negotiating room with the Chinese over Mr. Chen.
It would be nearly impossible for Mr. Obama to reach a quick resolution of the Chen case in the way that he was able to when a top Chinese police official turned up at the American Consulate in Chengdu in February in connection with the Bo Xilai case, diplomats and analysts said.
Within two days, the police official, Wang Lijun, was turned over to Chinese officials, and he remains in custody. Both sides insist that he left the consulate of his own accord.
In contrast, Washington has championed Mr. Chen as a human rights activist, and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton publicized his house arrest in a speech last November.
From the Chinese point of view, it would be hard to let Mr. Chen leave China, one solution that, in any case, his supporters say the lawyer does not seek.
Thus, Mr. Chen’s arrival on American property more closely resembles the episode of Fang Lizhi, a Chinese astrophysicist who fled to the American Embassy after the crackdown at Tiananmen Square in 1989 and stayed for a year, until negotiations between the administration of President George Bush and the Chinese leader, Deng Xiaoping, allowed Mr. Fang to fly to London. As part of the bargain, Mr. Fang, who died this month after years in the United States, wrote a letter promising not to engage in anti-Chinese activity.
The handling of the Chen case could shed light on the maturity of the relationship between the United States and China, one that is far more complicated and multilayered than it was in 1989. Then, China was looking to take its place on the world stage, and possessed slightly less self-esteem as an international actor, a senior foreign diplomat here said Saturday. Now, exhilarated by its economic success, China is more nationalistic in its outlook, and eager to close the gaps between itself and the United States.
On the basis of that competition alone, handing Mr. Chen to the Americans could be extremely difficult, and unpopular with the Chinese people. “Remember, the system always tilts to the hard-line left in moments of stress, and no one can afford to be seen as ‘soft on the Americans,’ especially at a tense time in domestic politics,” said an American with long experience here who declined to be named because he did not want to anger Chinese officials.
Perhaps the biggest threat to the leadership is the way Mr. Chen is likely to become a pawn between the major ideological camps that have emerged in the wake of Mr. Bo’s dismissal.
The chief of China’s security apparatus, Zhou Yongkang, would be able to use Mr. Chen as a “told you so” example to push back against the more pro-Western camp, led by President Hu Jintao and Prime Minister Wen Jiabao, two foreign diplomats here said. Mr. Zhou could argue that Mr. Chen plotted to embarrass the leadership at a vulnerable moment after Mr. Bo’s downfall, and did so with the cooperation of the Americans, said the diplomats, who requested anonymity in keeping with diplomatic protocol. This argument would put Mr. Wen and Mr. Hu on the defensive, the diplomats said.
It is also possible that supporters of Mr. Bo, like Mr. Zhou, will demand that the United States hand Mr. Chen back to China, a stance that could solidify support for the hard-line faction, the diplomats said.
The timing of Mr. Chen’s escape threw the spotlight on the relationship between China and the United States in another way, raising the possibility that Mr. Chen and his supporters chose the moment to apply pressure on both countries.
About 200 American officials, led by Mrs. Clinton and Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner, are scheduled to arrive in Beijing this week for a two-day conference on security and economic issues, an annual high-level meeting. Included in the group is the assistant secretary for democracy, human rights and labor, Michael H. Posner, who has taken a special interest in Mr. Chen and will ensure that the issue receives Mrs. Clinton’s attention.
At a briefing for reporters on Saturday, Vice Foreign Minister Cui Tiankai said that the conference would go ahead as planned. Mr. Cui played down Mr. Chen’s escape, saying, “I don’t think this issue will occupy much time or focus.” He declined to answer further questions on the matter.
For Beijing, pushing ahead with the meeting had a certain logic, diplomats here said. President Hu could use the occasion to lecture Mrs. Clinton about his perception that the United States is interfering in the internal affairs of China, they said.
If Mr. Chen is inside the American Embassy, his exact whereabouts within the block-long, well-guarded, fortresslike compound were unclear. How he might have entered was also not known. One diplomat speculated that Mr. Chen might have turned up at the visa section, waited in the long line with the numerous other applicants, and once inside asked for asylum.
Others said that he might have gone to the residence of the American ambassador, Gary Locke, or taken refuge in the apartment of an American diplomat. That could leave him open to an attempt by security forces to seize him, the diplomats said.
In all the unanswered questions, one aspect seemed certain. It will take a meeting of senior Chinese leaders to deal with Mr. Chen’s future, diplomats said.
While the wounds were healing in the aftermath of the Bo affair, two senior leaders, Prime Minister Wen and Vice Prime Minister Li Keqiang, left last week for trips abroad, departures that were intended to show that differences at the top had diminished, or at least that a truce had been reached.
If there is to be a speedy resolution of Mr. Chen’s case, the two men will need to return home quickly.
