>> from day one, his express desire was to remain in china . he sought to be reunited with his family. he was looking for a better life .
>> they said he never once asked for asylum. chinese authorities assured him he wouldn't be mistreated and his allegations of abuse would be investigated and he would get a new home in a university job. but hours later, with u.s. officials gone, chen apparently had a dramatic change of heart . in an emotional telephone interview with nbc news, he said he had only left the embass y because of threats to his family. i demand the u.s. government take concrete action to guarantee my safety and human rights and not consider other interests, he said. i want to leave china , any country is fine. hillary clinton in china today said earlier the deal reflected chen 's choices and the american values . andrea mitchell explains.
>> all this has been a diplomatic nightmare for hillary clinton who went to beying to press china on iran, syria, and korea, but now they're angry about what they call u.s. interference on a domestic issue and the administration on pressure to hold china to account for human rights . now they're almost responsible for insuring his safety.
>> u.s. officials promised to closely monitor his treatment, for years if necessarily. u.s. diplomats returned to see him, but he's no longer under diplomatic protection . china is angry and embarrassed, even demanding an apology, and for chen , leaving the country may no longer be an option.
>> ian williams in beijing tonight, next.
