This final note . . . . China arrests commentator

If you happened to catch our China special back in January, you might have heard a commentator named Hao Wu. He's a documentary filmmaker in Beijing, with opinions on piracy in China. He said he didn't like it, but he'd learned to live with it. We found out about a month ago that Hao has been arrested by the Chinese government -- not directly as a result of his contribution to our coverage; he's been doing some documentary work with Chinese dissidents, too. Hao's family had asked for privacy until now. We'll tell you more when we know it.
