If Snowden was in HK with Chinese state intelligence (or more likely, details about party leadership scandals), he would not have been able to leave the country unscathed.
- mandelken 8y ago> the US gov't hasn't been kidnapping many booksellers in the past decade. Are you serious or just trolling? The US has intervened more than any other country over the last decade. As we speak unmanned US drones are killing and dismembering innocent people. > And despite a bunch of nasty undemocratic stuff happening in the US, there were a lot of underhanded things going on in recent political events in HK. That's why I said on par with US and Europe. HK is not Switzerland, but not the undemocratic hell some are making it to be.
