Dissident’s Plea for Protection From China Deepens Crisis By MARK LANDLER, JANE PERLEZ and STEVEN LEE MYERS 10 minutes ago Facing criticism amid fraying relations with China, American officials privately acknowledged missteps in the handling of the Chinese dissident Chen Guangcheng. As the State Department tried frantically to reassess the options for Mr. Chen, who is now at a hospital in Beijing being treated for an injured foot, senior American officials privately acknowledged missteps in the handling of the case. The United States failed to guarantee access to Mr. Chen at the hospital, they said, leaving him isolated and fearful that China would renege on its pledge not to harass him and to allow him to resume his legal studies. The diplomats also rushed their negotiations with the Chinese government to try to resolve the situation before the start of two days of talks with China on economic and security issues, led by Mrs. Clinton and Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner, these officials said. That left no time to obtain firm, detailed assurances from Chinese officials on how they would treat Mr. Chen, a blind lawyer and activist who had been exposed to years of house arrest and beatings in his home village in western China and last month escaped to the United States Embassy in Beijing.

On Thursday night, Mr. Chen appeared to temper some of his earlier statements, in particular his assertion that American diplomats had pressured him into leaving the embassy. The comments suggested that Mr. Chen was not fully aware of the crisis his comments caused the day before. “He was totally astonished by this and felt very sorry for the pressure on the American Embassy created by these reports,” Mr. Guo wrote.
