Do the Chinese who might seek asylum also wait until the Court rules against them?

  I assume that would be a common trigger! Until that point, they may hope to be acquitted and not have to flee the country. For example, Chen Guangcheng escaped house arrest and fled to the U.S. embassy. The Chinese were not happy about that, and applied pressure, but they didn't send police into the embassy.

    Chen was neither charged with a crime nor was he serving a sentence at the time he fled.

      And neither is Assange, on both counts.

        There was no warrant or ongoing court case either.
