China probably can’t get the USA to extradite an American citizen for breaking a Chinese law. The UK can.

- ChocolateGod 2y agoThe UK can't even get the USA to extradite an American woman who was driving on the wrong side of the road and killed a child. The US-USA extradition treaties have always been one way.
- do_not_redeem 2y agoAre there any examples in history of the US extraditing someone with no UK ties to the UK?
- mattlondon 2y agoIf you commit a crime in the UK then I would expect extradition to be a genuine risk. It's a connected world, so online activities are probably pretty grey-areas. If you defraud someone (for example) but they're in another country, where did the crime happen?
- LAC-Tech 2y agoYeah that makes sense. I thought extradition laws usually had some kind of clause like "only applies if it'd be a crime in both jurisdictions", but now I think about that I can't remember where I heard that or why I think it so I will admit complete ignorance.
