Tuesday, May 1, 2012 – Daily News Invisible man casts shadow over US-China talks WASHINGTON (AP) — The blind Chinese lawyer at the center of a diplomatic storm between Washington and Bei- jing is a taboo topic in each capital. Neither side wants the biggest human-rights issue between the two since Tianan- men Square to disrupt high- level strategic and economic talks set to begin on Thursday. President Barack Obama's administration and China's officials have signaled that the global economy, North Korea, Iran and Sudan — issues in which millions of lives are at stake — have become far more important in U.S.-Chinese rela- tions. Thus, both refuse to admit anything is amiss as a high-profile dissident is believed to be sheltering with U.S. diplomats in China. To listen to officials in both countries, Chen Guangcheng is an invisible man. Obama himself refused to address the issue on Monday, declining to confirm that the blind lawyer is under U.S. pro- tection in China or that Ameri- can diplomats are attempting to negotiate an agreement for him to receive asylum. ''Obviously, I'm aware of the press reports on the situa- tion in China, but I'm not going to make a statement on the issue,'' the president said at a joint White House news con- ference with Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda. He added obliquely, I would like to emphasize is that every time we meet with China the issue of human rights comes up.'' Obama offered no informa- tion as his administration and the Chinese government sought to prevent the biggest human rights issue with China since Tiananmen Square demonstra- tions to disrupt high-level strategic and economic talks set to begin in Beijing on Thurs- day. ''What spokesman Victoria Nuland was also tight-lipped. ''I have nothing for you on But at the same time, press- ing the issue too hard may prompt a backlash from China, on which the U.S. is increas- ingly reliant for foreign capital and support as it seeks to lead the global economic recovery, deal with North Korea and Iran's nuclear programs and prevent a potential war between Sudan and South Sudan. The key to resolving the sit- uation may well rest with an aging cadre at the top of China's Communist Party, who could either promise protec- tion for Chen and his family in China or allow him to leave the country, possibly even to Hong Kong or Macao, as they pre- pare for their own leadership transition later this year. ''Mr. Chen prefers to stay in China if he and his family's safety can be guaranteed. In the current environment in China that might not be possi- ble so a viable solution is to have him and his family come to the U.S.,'' said Fu. He said a face-saving option may be to let Chen and his family come to the U.S. for medical treat- ment. Earlier, State department anything having to do with that matter,'' she responded repeat- edly to reporters' questions before Obama's news confer- ence. The ouster of powerful politician Bo Xilai following a deputy's visit to the U.S. con- sulate in Chengdu in February has already laid bare some of the party's dirty laundry ahead the changes and the Chinese will be loath to lose more face over Chen, whose case was raised repeatedly by American officials, including Clinton herself, until the information blackout began last week. Human rights has been a distasteful issue for Beijing for decades and it has criticized the U.S. approach as lecturing. Clinton made waves on her first trip abroad as secretary of state when she said that human rights could not dominate the entire agenda with China at the expense of other pressing issues. Her comments drew fire at the time, but the relationship has clearly evolved as global priorities have shifted. While China in the 1990s She confirmed that the top U.S. diplomat for Asia, Kurt Campbell, is in Beijing to pre- pare for the fourth round of the Strategic and Economic Dia- logue, she refused to say if he was discussing Chen and point- edly refused to utter the dissi- dent's name. Campbell arrived in Beijing early Sunday, at least a day ahead of schedule and, accord- ing to activists, is in intensive discussions with the Chinese to strike a deal over where Chen should go — either to asylum in the United States or to stay in China or go to a third loca- tion — before Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Treasury Secretary Timo- thy Geithner get there. But Nuland said the meetings will go on as planned. ''Both sides want to solve this in a low-key manner and they do not want this to domi- nate other issues in the (strate- gic and economic) dialogue so that's why they are working hard to find a speedy solution,'' said Bob Fu of the Texas-based rights group ChinaAid, which was involved in Chen's escape from house arrest last week and his subsequent arrival into the protection of U.S. diplomats in Beijing. Despite the silence, the han- dling of his case — the most serious U.S.-China rights crisis since the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre and the most serious overall since an Ameri- can spy plane was forced to land on China's Hainan Island in 2001 — will have profound ramifications on both sides of the Pacific. Obama's options are limit- ed. Facing a tough fight for re- election in November, he can- not afford to ignore the situa- tion. Doing nothing to help a visually impaired, self-taught lawyer who has fought against forced abortions and corruption in China would open Obama up to attacks from his presumed Republican opponent, Mitt Romney. It would also draw intense criticism from the human rights community in the United States, one of his core constituencies. LEGAL NOTICE was in need of foreign invest- ment and diplomatic partners and was willing to send jailed dissidents into exile to get them, Beijing sees little need for such concessions now, with its diplomatic clout and coffers bulging with foreign exchange. As the first and second largest economies, the U.S. and China have intertwining interests, and as the reigning superpower and burgeoning world power, they are frequently jostling for advantage across the globe.
