Joining Kaiser Kuo and Jeremy Goldkorn on Sinica this week are special guests Gady Epstein from the Economist and Ed Wong from the New York Times, here to discuss what has been a surreal two weeks even by Chinese standards, bringing us the spectacle of a blind activist's refuge in the American Embassy in Beijing, the ensuing diplomatic negotiations for his release, and an upsurge of popular Chinese outrage over a maritime dispute with the Philippines. Our guests also chat about "Ferrari-gate" and address the persisting rumors that a tuxedo-clad princeling drove up to the US Ambassadorial residence in a red Ferrari.Enjoy the Sinica podcast? In addition to listening to new episodes through Popup Chinese, we invite all listeners to download and share this recording as a standalone mp3 file.

I think what Kaiser was trying to argue is that Chen choose to go to the US embassy and seek help by the Obama administration "on his own volition", and therefore has a certain responsibility toward those who've agreed to -- and despite incredible difficulty, actually managed to -- help him -- a responsibility he failed at with his somewhat erratic changes of heart.

I find it amazing one blind activist saying he doesn't agree with his government turned the whole country upside down and caused a diplomatic crisis in a matter of days. Contrast that with how many Americans publicly write in print and on the web how much they hate their government (under their real identities) and it never gets any kind of reaction from anybody.

@vindalsace - All the more remarkable given that Chen has quite pointedly not criticized the national government. All of his problems have -- at least superficially -- been with local officials, whom he first ran afoul of by pointing out that they were acting in contravention of national law. If you look at the video statement Chen released after his escape, it's wonderfully well-constructed in the way it draws a clear rhetorical line between the local authorities in Linyi and the national government. I wonder how much of what happened since then is due to his making that distinction.
