VOA双语新闻：美国官员证实陈光诚希望离开中国
美国官员说，他们已经证实，中国盲人活动人士陈光诚希望和家人一起离开中国，他一天前离开了美国大使馆。他逃离当局的监控后，在美国驻北京大使馆停留了将近一个星期，寻求保护。美国国务院发言人纽兰星期四说，美国官员正在与陈光诚讨论各种选择方案，他目前在北京一家医院，受到中国当局的监视。陈光诚于星期三离开了美国大使馆，根据与中国政府达成的协议，当局将保证他的安全。但陈光诚星期四对记者说，他的家人受到威胁，他不再相信北京会履行保护他们的承诺。他还对护送他到医院的美国官员已经离开表示担忧。
美国官员曾经表示，他们将尽力帮助陈光诚，但否认有关他被迫离开美国使馆的报导。美国驻中国大使骆家辉说，陈光诚“很激动，急于离开”使馆，去和家人团聚。围绕陈光诚的争论可能给美国和中国官员的年度会谈蒙上阴影。星期四，美国国务卿希拉里•克林顿在战略安全对话开始时发言，没有提到陈光诚。但她敦促中国保护人权。
**US Confirms Chinese Dissident's Wish to Leave China**
U.S. officials say they have confirmed that blind Chinese activist Chen Guangcheng would like to leave China with his family, a day after the dissident left the U.S. embassy where he had sought refuge for nearly a week after fleeing house arrest. State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland said Thursday that U.S. officials are discussing options with Chen, who is at a Beijing hospital under Chinese supervision. Chen left the U.S. embassy in Beijing Wednesday under a deal reached with the Chinese government that called for authorities to guarantee his safety. But he told reporters Thursday that his family has been threatened and that he no longer believes Beijing will keep its promise to protect them. He also expressed concern that the U.S. officials who had escorted him to the hospital were no longer with him at the facility.
U.S. officials have said they will do what they can to help Chen, but have denied reports that he was pressured into leaving the embassy. Ambassador Gary Locke said Chen was "eager and excited" to leave the embassy and be reunited with his family. The dispute over Chen has threatened to overshadow annual talks in Beijing between U.S. and Chinese officials. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did not mention Chen during her opening remarks at the Strategic Security Dialogue, which started Thursday. But she did urge China to protect human rights.
