Jailed and Jailor both seek protection from the USA
Chen Guangcheng, a blind self-taught lawyer who was jailed for 4 years for his fight for human rights, sought protection at the US Embassy in Beijing.
Wang Lijun, a former police chief of the city of Chongqing who was responsible for jailing people like Chen Guangcheng, sought protection at the US Consulate General in Chengdu.
It appears ironic, but it is actually very logical. Which large country has the worst human rights record? Which large country has been standing for human rights?
When it comes to the question of life and death, people irgnore rhetorics, and make logical choices.
