[Snowden]...Showed Hong Kong Newspaper Documents Revealing US Hacking Attacks On China (updated 2x)

207. Oh please, Hong Kong is no free speech mecca.

Ironic that Snowden sought refuge in Hong Kong to complain about surveillance. Hong Kong has some of the most expansive civilian surveillance laws in the world.

So much for Snowden's stupid praise of Hong Kong's "strong tradition of free speech." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/10/edward-snowden-basic-liberties_n_3414824.html

Things are not looking better for him. The only country that appears to be entertaining the idea of giving him asylum is Russia, where you can't fart without Putin knowing about it.

And got a link about your claim that Beijing normally does not become involved in surrender hearings? The Chinese government has indicated they would extradite him.

“He won’t find Hong Kong a safe harbor,” Ms. Ip said. “Those agreements have been enforced for more than 10 years. If the U.S. submits a request, we would act in accordance with the law.”

Of course, if he offers up U.S. secrets to China, as it appears he is doing, I imagine they will let him stay for a while. But if he does that, he is toast. He will be treated like the traitor he is by the U.S., and China won't have a whole lot of use for him once they are done with him.
