snowden's passport was revoked while he was in the air, before he landed in russia
> He initially flew to Hong Kong and tried to gain asylum there by sharing details of Chinese network targets.
this accusation is unsubstantiated in the link you provide
- lern_too_spel 6y agoThat link shows he gave up details of US government espionage on Chinese networks. The third link I posted details how Snowden tried to gain asylum in Hong Kong. Edit: I can't respond due to downvotes: Tell me why you think he released a list of compromised Chinese systems and when they were compromised while he was in China. Tell me why you think he chose to flee to Hong Kong and talk to reporters there. It seems obvious to me why, but maybe you have another explanation.
- nyolfen 6y agothe first link shows that the documents he leaked had details about spying on chinese networks; the third link says he initially intended to try to fight extradition in hk. what neither of them say, and what you are accusing him of, is that he tried to trade intelligence for asylum.

- thakoppno 6y ago> passport was revoked while he was in the air What’s the deal with airplane passports? This one aspect of the Snowden saga has always intrigued me. What mechanism actually led to Snowden stuck in Moscow, an airline’s boarding procedure?
- posguy 6y agoThe deal is with Edward Snowden's US Passport being revoked, which means commercial airlines will refuse to let him board any international flights.
