FOR USE WITH STORY CHINA SHIFTING TACTICS BY DIDI TANG In this photo taken Wednesday, April 10, 2013, Chinese dissident Hu Jia talks on his phone during a meeting at a restaurant in Beijing, China. In prosecuting the countryâs political and social activists, an image-conscious Beijing is shifting its tactics. Rather than filing charges of inciting state subversion that amount to political prosecution and drawing international condemnations, Beijing is increasingly using public disorder charges to lock up those it considers as nuisances or threats to its rule. Hu describes this system as "craftier and crueler". (AP Photo/Ng Han Guan)
