More conflicting reports are surfacing on a condition under which a Chinese dissident left the US embassy in Beijing today was a freewheeler under government threat.

The answers will be appreciated. Michael.

Here is the audio file of the sentence.

To be honest, the meaning of the sentence is unclear- it's not a sentence that can be tidied up grammatically because the problem is the content IMO.

The ending is:

was it free will or under government threat

(And it is the condition)
