If he is actually in HK, he might be more of an inexperienced and naive idealist than anything else. Traveling to a territory with US extradition treaty and under Chinese control seems very unwise.
- khuey 13y agoActually it's probably not a bad move. China is one of the few countries in the world that would conceivably refuse to extradite him and protect him from retaliation. I think it's telling that Hong Kong is not in any way, shape, or form on the way from Hawaii to Iceland.
- DasIch 13y agoChina is one of the very few countries that has enough power, especially over the US, to be able not to cooperate if they don't want to and it is reasonable to expect that they might not. Furthermore Hong Kong specifially is somewhat independent from China when it comes to oppression. I also wouldn't be surprised, if a NSA analyst with that clearance level travelling to Iceland would raise a couple of red flags.
