  • ... that in 1966 the Indonesian ambassador Djawoto (pictured) was granted political asylum in China?

  • Symbol possible vote.svg Neither the article nor the source make any mention of Djawoto seeking political asylum, simply that he was granted it. Also, I've read the article's final sentence, Template:Tq, more than once without understanding what it's getting at: the first clause makes no sense in context, and both clauses have grammatical problems.

  • For me it's ok to switch 'sought' for 'was granted' in the hook. As per the last sentence, it was a typo, now corrected. --Soman (talk) 07:26, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
  • As an individual cannot be a cadre, the last sentence still makes no sense. I've removed the first clause. However, what remains needs context: did he ask to return? When was he refused permission and by whom (or was it the government as a whole)? BlueMoonset (talk) 14:34, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
  • Yes, an individual can be a communist cadre, see [1]. And this is backed up by the reference. The reference does not go into detail whether he solicited to be allowed to return or not, but does state that he did not get permission to come back. Do recall that his Indonesian citizenship was withdrawn. --Soman (talk) 17:47, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
