Next: US Government to extradite Chinese dissidents for saying bad things about the Chinese Government on the internet. All of this is just wrong.

  Except saying bad things about the Chinese Government isn't illegal in the US. Yet. But still, you've misread the original post.

    Not exactly true. In exchange for their support in the War on Terror, China managed to get a number of vaguely-defined domestic opposition groups (particularly ethnic separatist ones) listed as international terrorist organizations. I'm not sure the point at which anti-China activities would fall under the purview of anti-terrorism laws, but I'm not sure the issue is as clean-cut as you think. A Chinese individual who sent money back home or canvassed for support might get nailed on quite a few grounds assuming the United States was willing to be consistent in applying its policies regarding Islamic terrorism to anti-China groups.

      Oh wow. Okay. But I still think > A Chinese individual who sent money back home or canvassed for support might get nailed on quite a few grounds assuming the United States was willing to be consistent in applying its policies regarding Islamic terrorism to anti-China groups. seems a bit unlikely. Has it happened yet?

        Misread? All I'm saying is that the extradition is just wrong. You don't need to be patronising.
