               Blind Chinese Activist Traveling From US to Taiwan

   Blind Chinese activist Chen Guangcheng arrives in Taiwan Sunday for a
   series of speeches that are likely to anger Beijing.
   Chen`s sponsor, the Taiwan Association for China Human Rights, said in
   a statement that the 18-day trip is part of Chen`s efforts to enhance
   freedoms and human rights for his fellow Chinese.
   Chen sparked a diplomatic crisis between China and the United States a
   year ago when he fled from house arrest to the US embassy in Beijing.
   Since then, he has been a special student at New York University`s
   U.S.-Asia Law Institute. The university released him earlier this
   month, saying his schedule year at the university was up. However, Chen
   accused the university of bowing to pressure from Beijing and forcing
   him to leave.
   Chen angered local officials in China by documenting complaints about
   forced abortions and other abuses of China`s one-child policy.
