(CBS/AP) BEIJING — A blind Chinese activist was hurriedly taken from a hospital Saturday and boarded a plane that took off for the United States, closing a nearly month-long diplomatic tussle that had tested U.S.-China relations.

Chen Guangcheng, his wife and two children left China a few hours after they were notified they would be allowed to leave.
According to Sky News correspondent Holly Williams, who spoke with Chen as he was awaiting to board his flight, they were informed by the staff at the Beijing hospital where he had been getting treatment for the last couple of weeks.
