...Ousting protest from campus during Jiang's visit: Not only was the planned protest area closed, but the only alternative campus area offered by Harvard was William James Hall--far from Memorial Hall and far from the route of Jiang's motorcade. The rally preferred to retreat to the area of the Swedenborg Chapel, which faces Memorial Hall. Although the church grounds are private, non-Harvard property, Epps took the time and effort to come over during the rally and personally harass the owners.

A high-profile gesture from Jiang would help: the release of well-known dissidents like Wei Jingsheng and Wang Dan, some sign of religious freedom, a credible retreat on prison labor. But berating Beijing on human rights only injures its sense of sovereignty and challenges the regime's legitimacy. Jiang has given little indication that he is willing to do any of those things for the summit's sake, and China experts say he is especially loath...
