I will not agree with you that he has overplayed his hand. Obama was just meeting with Chinese leadership not but a week ago with pleas for the government to stop their cyber attacks on US targets. This is exposing that hypocrisy. Additionally he could be an asset to the Chinese government because he likely has MUCH more information than is being made public. However, I think because of his strict ideals to do no harm I think he will be unlikely to cooperate with them on divulging anything that would be of substance to the Chinese government. All that said I think he may still have information he wants to make light of and so, simply because he still does not have access to this information, does not mean he does not having something explosive waiting to be revealed. I think he is a liability to the HK and Chinese governments but they are not easy to kowtow to the US demands simply on the grounds that he has violated laws which HK does not recognize themselves. Grab some popcorn, this will develop much more interestingly than I think you think it will.
