I am sorry the U.S. let Mr Chen leave the embassy, but you cannot hold him against his will. And I am glad that apparently the PRC will now let Mr. Chen and his family leave the country.
What I was most impressed by during this news cycle was how naive Mr. Chen appears to be. His goals are noble, but if you are under house arrest and you sneak away to the U.S. embassy, what do you expect the Communist Government, that does not know how to deal with any opposition, to do. They will use whatever they have to blackmail you back so they can control you.
Why would Mr. Chen ever think he would have more negotiating power within China then he would have as a resident of the U.S. Embassy? He should have stayed put in the Embassy.
