Hong Kong is a favorite among libertarians because of the economic order there. I hear those guys praising HK all the time. For an American libertarian fleeing the US HK is a natural choice and I have read Snowden is a libertarian. China is not an US ally, very powerful, easily offended and aggressively nationalistic i.e. no US special ops team is going to kidnap Snowden on Chinese territory. That would most certainly start a serious international conflict with China and arresting Snowden is not worth that. There are many anti-totalitarian government activists in HK. There has already been a pro-Snowden support rally in HK: http://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/article/1261433/live-updates-support-edward-snowden-rally-hong-kong http://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/article/1261433/live-upda... English is a common language in HK so Snowden doesn't necessary need to learn a new language. Overall HK looks like a logical choice to me.
