If China could get the US to agree to extradition of its residents for violations of Chinese law they probably would've just done what the US is doing to Julian Assange right now.
- EA-3167 3y agoHow is prosecuting a foreign national for espionage like trying to render your own citizens for "reasons"?
- willcipriano 3y agoThe Chinese aren't doing it for "reasons", they have a justification that fits into their narrative, just like the US. The similarities are that the state is using its power to punish people that have made it look bad or have otherwise displeased it. The main difference is that isn't supposed to happen in America, but it does no matter who you vote for.

- colechristensen 3y agoI’m not saying it’s definitely correct but there’s a silos argument for Assange having committed espionage. What charges on similar scales and severity would these harassed Chinese be accused of?
