    I can only say that my ability to make comments on any CNN report on China (while I am in China) is an exercise in futility. In most cases I can't open the material.

      Oh the outrage and ioaigndtinn. Did you even stop for a moment to consider that perhaps, just perhaps in your wildest dreams, he is a terrorist. Putting on a press badge does not make you immune from being a terrorist. I too am upset he has been held so long, he should have been shot immediately.

    1,They should introduce and repeat the story of Chen many times.
    Because
    "Repeating lies 1000 times they are truth" -- Nazis

    2,of course he should go to USA
    US tax payers want to fund him, this is also what China wants.

    3,in Beijing last week we could use CNN, Facebook, Google etc.
    if we can not use them, we have 10000000000000000 tools to help us do this.
    Only US people in Beijing and US medias in Beijing can not use them.

      Surprisingly few responses here? Amanpour, what's going on??

      Response to "China" – >stop lying – I visit China several times a month and your claim of easy access to CNN, google, Facebook, etc. is a pure nonsensical lie. I regularly travel to Shanghai, Qingdao, Beijing, Shenzhen, Shenyang and a few other places. I love China and her people – the government there – not so much. (I'm half Chinese myself on my dad's side.)

      Yes, most western hotels have CNN, BBC, etc. however as soon as anything negative about China is being mentioned we all get the "technical difficulties" sign. When people were protesting their land being stolen by corrupt communist party officials in Guangzhou and Hubei the "technical difficulties" spread to CNN, BBC, DeutcheWelle, etc. but strangely the CCTV (government sponsored) programs worked just fine. How convenient. Facebook access is very slow and can be blocked at any time, same with google searches. I typed "Guangzhou protests" in google search while I was visiting Shanghai, within minutes my Internet speed slowed to a trickle and later I got the "connection has been lost" message. I used to visit the Soviet Union when I was young. They too spend lots of resources on censorship but ultimately it'll all fail. Just like the SU – China too will evolve. One day China will be a true democracy neighboring friendly yet independent countries of Tibet and Uyghuristan. Why? Because that's what those people want – freedom and democracy. It might take many more years, many decades, however it's inevitable.

    These ignorant US people.

    Beijing natives can use all the FB, Google etc. in anywhere, at home, in bars, in university etc.

    CNN and all US sites can be visited without any problems.

    The world has repeated so many times.

    ONLY US people and US journalists and US liars can not use them in China.

    Only they.

    And they again lies to the world what independent countries what Tibet and Uyhuristan?

    When?

    when can you US liars say they are independent?

    Even your master Obama admits they were part of China since 1000 years.

      Woah! I'm really lovnig the template/theme of this blog. It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's challenging to get that “perfect balance” between usability and visual appeal. I must say you've done a great job with this. Additionally, the blog loads very quick for me on Safari. Exceptional Blog!

    Chen Guangcheng is a self-promoter...notive all interviews are about how hard life is for him and his family, but nothing said about actual issues outside of his immediate family and friends?
