The arrest of a Chinese student at New Jersey's Stevens Institute of Technology two months ago on terror threat charges caused concern – and anger – here in China.

Now, more than eight weeks after Zhai Tian Tian was arrested for allegedly threatening to burn down a school building, his mother has spoken out in defense of her son.

In her first television interview since his arrest, she tells Beyond the Headlines she believes her son is innocent – and accuses U.S. authorities of trampling on his human rights. B.O.N's Kelda Yuen has this exclusive interview.

Today is the final day of the gaokao, China's national college entrance exam. To many students, getting into a good school is important… while they spend three years studying for the exam, the pressure to get into a good school actually starts with primary school. BON' Susan Tart explains.

In June, we reported on Zhai Tiantian- a Chinese student studying in the U.S. who was arrested on the charge of posing a “terroristic threat” after allegedly threatening to burn down a school building. A month later- a plea bargain has been offered to the detained overseas student. Our BON reporter Kelda Yuen has been keeping an eye on the case and joins us in the studio with more details.
