Lai Gets Another Hearing
Lai Changxing, one of China's most wanted men, has won the right for a judicial review of his deportation order. He suspects, understandably, that China will ignore its promises to stay the death penalty if he is deported to China. He knows too much about too many high ranking officials to be safe in China. One must suspect that were he locked up in a Chinese jail he wouldn't last very long.
I was under the impression that the Chinese were ready to drop this issue. No one wins if they bring him back to China. He loses, whoever he uncovers as co-conspirators will lose and the government will lose face by uncovering so much of the rampant corruption.
