The timing couldn't be more perfect. Blind guy absconds house arrest with help, hides for couple weeks, then turns up right on time for the economic summit. Obama needs the economic summit, and subsequent redress with China to go well for the election.

And look at the players involved in helping Chen, Hu Jia and Bob Fu of China Aid:

- Both Hu Jia and Bob Fu are National Endowment for Democracy grantees from Bush era.
(ref. China grant publication on ned.org)

- Hu, Fu, even Chen are linked to the International Republican Institute and Southern Baptist Convention. Here are couple Google key terms to try (not sure if I can post links):
"Chen Guangcheng Hu Jia International Republican Institute"
"Bob Fu Southern Baptist Convention"
