How Do You Say "Free" in Chinese?

Post by apophenia » Fri Sep 30, 2011 8:53 am

TheAssociatedPress wrote: BEIJING (AP) — In the year-plus since he was released from jail, scientist Hu Zhicheng has been free, free to drive from his Shanghai apartment to his office two hours away, free to get acupuncture treatment for chronic back pain, free except to leave China and rejoin his family in America.

Twice Hu went to airports to board flights out of China only to be turned back by border control officers. A China-born U.S. citizen and award-winning inventor of emission control systems for autos, Hu has written to the police who investigated him for infringing commercial secrets and met with the prosecutors who dropped the charges for lack of evidence. Yet he has not been allowed to leave — nor told why.

This is China's way of recruiting perhaps? :ask:

He'll have to take a job sooner or later.

Should strip his US citizenship and deport his family back to China.
It's stupid trouble makers like him that piss me off, they acquire US citizenship and then use that to stir up trouble back in their home country.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.
