    Yeah, I'm with Ben on this one. The whole thing from Max Blumenthal appears to be incredibly malicious. First question is, why come out with this now. What is he trying to achieve with this smear campaign. As Ben arrives in a new country to benefit from the goodwill of his hosts, citizens must be warned that a criminal mind is lurking in their midst. Seems a tad much, is he warning all of China against him?

      The only thing I could think of would be him trying to get Ben's visa revoked. China has pretty strict non-criminal record requirements on their visas (at least on work visa, not sure about other types).
