BEIJING, May 2 (Reuters) – U.S. Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton said on Wednesday the United States had handled the case
of blind Chinese human rights activist Chen Guangcheng “in a way
that reflected his choices and our values,” and that it was
crucial to ensure that Beijing keeps its pledges to leave him
unmolested.
“The United States government and the American people are
committed to remaining engaged with Mr. Chen and his family in
the days, weeks, and years ahead,” Clinton said in a statement
after Chen departed the U.S. embassy, where he had sought refuge
after fleeing house arrest.
