Chinese human rights activist Chen Guangcheng, whose case overshadowed high-level U.S.-China talks earlier this month, arrived in New York City and thanked the U.S. for helping him leave Beijing.
Chen, at a brief news conference yesterday near New York University, where he has a fellowship to study law, expressed gratitude for the encouragement he received from supporters around the world. He also said he appreciated the “cool heads” in the Chinese government.
