Mainstream US media does not usually report on the huge number of people who get detained by Public Security in China; as you say, it's a totalitarian government and these things happen. However, this man is very important to China, even though the dunderheads who have stitched him up don't seem to realise that. His detention is a blow to China's credibility and a vast embarrasment to those in the government who are genuine about the rule of law. It is also very bad for Chinese business! His group's penetration of the poisoned milk scandal saved lives, and brought callous criminals to justice. Hardworking, independent public defenders like Xu Zhiyong are going to be an ever more essential part of the Chinese economy in the future, and to imprison him for imagined crimes against the state is not simply unjust, it is self-defeating!
