Chinese exiles meeting in Paris chose former government official Yan Jiaqi and student protest leader Wuer Kaixi to lead an international movement to end Communist rule in their country. On the final day of a three-day inaugural meeting of the Federation of Democracy in China, delegates elected Yan as chairman and Wuer as vice chairman. Yan, 47, a former director of the Institute of Political Science and adviser to ousted Chinese Communist Party leader Zhao Ziyang, is on China’s most-wanted list. Wuer, 21, is one of the best known of 21 student leaders accused of “counterrevolutionary crimes.”
