Quote:

(a) "He [Gui Minhai]was born in China, in 1964, and traveled to study at Sweden's University of Gothenburg in 1988. The following year, China’s Communist Party crushed peaceful pro-democracy demonstrations in Tiananmen Square. Gui spent the next decade in Sweden, becoming a citizen, earning his PhD and having a daughter, Angela, his only child, who also is a Swedish citizen [the article does not say what her other citizenship is, but my guess is British].  As the political climate in China relaxed, Gui returned, and eventually helped establish a company in Hong Kong that published gossipy volumes about China's leaders.

(b) "Angela has yet to watch the supposed confession from beginning to end. * * *

"But she has watched enough to know it is false. 'That's just not the way he talks,' she said. She had never heard him speak of any accident.

"Compounding her misgivings is one final message she received from his Skype account.

" 'He said he was okay, that he went back to China on his own to solve his own problems.  "If anyone asks about me, please keep quiet, because that's important to me." '

" 'I replied, "What do you mean? Where are you?" ' But there was no response.

"Angela, a sociology major who never expected to be an activist, finds herself knocking on official doors in Stockholm and Washington, hoping that governments eager for smooth relations with China will stir themselves to object to such egregious behavior.

My comment: The article says nothing new, except the quotation above.
