A Taiwanese-American businessman in Corvallis, Oregon, has put up a large mural depicting China’s crackdown on Tibet and on Taiwanese independence.
It’s caught the attention of Chinese authorities.
They sent two Chinese consulate officials to Corvallis to ask the mayor to have it removed but the mayor said no. Dmae Roberts has the story.
