    One day, suicide will be labelled a Self-Hate Crime, and punished accordingly.

    My guess is the ChiComs are letting Chen “apply” for a family visa to “study overseas” as a way of allowing Hilary to leave the country without having to visit him, embarrassing the ChiComs, or appear to abandon him to them, embarrassing Obama.

    The plan is to let the controversy die down, so it is out of the news, then he will quietly be silenced and the US media won’t say a word.

    When Biden was en route to China earlier, a high-level Party official presented himself at the Embassy requesting asylum.  He was turned away, taken by ChiCom security, and hasn’t been seen or heard from since.  That’s the kind of quiet, low-key “problem resolution” the Obama regime prefers.
