I've stated in a previous comment on HN that i found it very curious to see that the thing blew up right when China's president visited the US to talk about cyber espionnage. And now the guy says he's in asylum in Honk-Kong, and the reason he gives is that it's because they respect free spech and political dissidents (pretty much like the rest of China i suppose) !! ??????? What kind of a joke is this ??
