May 2002 China Formally Arrests US Based Democracy Activist VOA News 10 May 2002 15:33 UTC   Chinese authorities have formally arrested a U.S. based pro-democracy activist for entering China using someone else's passport. A Foreign Ministry spokesman Friday, said the government is investigating the genuine identity of Yang Jianli, who was initially detained two weeks ago in the southern city of Kunming. The spokesman said Mr. Yang entered China illegally and used a fake identification card to board a plane. Mr. Yang's wife says he traveled to China on April 18 using a friend's passport. She says it was her husband's first trip back to China since the pro-democracy demonstrations in 1989. The 38-year-old Mr. Yang heads a Boston-based organization, called Foundation for China in the 21st Century, that advocates non-violence and democracy in China. In recent months, China has detained several U.S. residents of Chinese decent. Most were accused of spying and later expelled. Some information for this report provided by AP and Reuters.

World events are historic steps in the purpose and plan of God. The outcome of history is up to man - restricted only by sovereign limits imposed by God. The future events are consequences resulting from mankind exercising the gift of intelligence and free will in response to situations developing from past events. This human response is either synchronized to His Will or in rebellion to His Will. Behavior is either the manifestation of love or it's opposite - hate. As Christians we should be involved through loving (caring attitude and behavior for others) actions empowered by prayer, understanding, and submission to His Will. | |||
