Gary Locke served as U.S. Ambassador to China from 2011 to 2014. Locke was not only the first Chinese-American ambassador to China, but also the first Chinese-American state governor and Secretary of Commerce. This week on Sinica, he joins Kaiser in a show taped in Seattle, Washington. He reminisces about his early visits to his ancestral village in China's Guangdong Province, recalls the attempted defection of Chongqing police chief and erstwhile Bo Xilai underling Wang Lijun to the Chengdu Consulate, and provides rare detail about the flight of blind dissident lawyer Chen Guangcheng to the U.S. Embassy in Beijing.
