(Week of 5/5/2012) Over 70% of Americans in the latest Economist/YouGov Poll claim to have heard of the dispute about Chen Guangcheng, the Chinese lawyer and activist who fled house arrest to seek asylum in the U.S. embassy in China and has since been told he could come to the U.S. with his family to study.
