Blind Chinese legal activist Chen Guangcheng’s arrival in New York over the weekend ended a standoff between the U.S. and China that strained ties for the world’s two biggest economies.
Chen, whose stay at the U.S. embassy in Beijing overshadowed a bilateral summit earlier this month, moved into a Manhattan apartment after leaving Beijing May 19 on a United Airlines flight with his wife and two children. He has a fellowship to study law at New York University.
