HONG KONG - A leading Chinese dissident has fled to. Hong Kong just days after a colleague in Beijing was sent to a labour camp and is reported to be seeking asylum in the US, according to Radio Television Hong Kong. It quoted an unidentified source close to veteran democracy activist Wang Xizhe as saying that he had seen Mr Wang in Hong Kong.
Mr Wang, who would be the second Chinese dissident to flee to the US via Hong Kong this year, was expected to arrive there within the next 24 hours.
Mr Wang has been missing from his home in the southern Chinese province of Guangdong since a fellow activist, Liu Xiaobo, was arrested in Beijing last Tuesday and ordered to serve three years in a labour camp.
