The ongoing trial of a U.S. Homeland Security officer charged with the beating of a Chinese tourist at Niagra Falls last year is not well-known to Americans, but it definitely is to people in China. ESWN is following developments on this page. Zhao Yan, the Chinese tourist, will testify tomorrow (Monday).
A woman, Tang Fuzhen, in Chengdu set herself on fire in order to protest against the forced demolition of her home. ESWN translated a T.V news commentary on the incident.

Really sorry to hear about the Chinese tourist being beaten. I hope justice will be served.
I sincerely love the Chinese people. We have many Chinese children in this area, and they are all adopted. They seem to be well loved, and well cared for.
I have many Chinese friends, and I spend Thanksgiving with a family and their extended family. Altogether about 30 people I have taken Chinese cooking lessons, and enjoy eating Chinese food. I know where I live the Chinese school children are considered the best and the brightest.
This tourist will be in my prayers and in my thoughts.
