- jacquesm 4y agoThere doesn't have to be a treaty for you to make a request. You can then (1) see your request honored because in spite of the absence of a treaty there are good enough reasons to extradite or (2) be told to fuck off. A bit more politely than that of course. Typically whenever there are diplomatic relationships extradition requests can be made and these are honored if there is reciprocity and there is sufficient evidence that the request to be have been made in good faith.
- dirtyid 4y agoThis is assuming PRC hasn't made formal requests - been asking for extradition rights / treaties since mid 2000s (before Xi) to host of western countries where big grafters were fleeing. And been given the cold shoulder. Naive to believe polite or none polite fuck off is end of story to west harbouring PRC criminals consquence free, leading to these grayzone methods. "Typical" is reserved for "like minded" relationships, reality is it is political suicide in west to send even criminals to PRC, hence it won't happen no better how sufficient the evidence and faith.

- kelipso 4y agoCountries are not people. Your worldview becomes more shifted from reality and full of holes the more you think of an entire country as one person.
- weard_beard 4y agoTrue, government is an ecosystem. If you kill the sparrow but spare the locust you may do more harm than good.
