Yeah, I'm kinda with those that think this millenial shithead is a traitor.

I think if the PRC intel people have or are going to interview this putz, they're going to be sorely disappointed in what he's got to give them, and probably won't care if he goes back.

I thought he took a thumbdrive full of shit with him. It makes sense to trade it for a new life in China, since there are not that many places for that guy to go to.

He did a good thing (tm).
Hope somewhere nicer than China lets him stay.

He was an IT monkey, not an analyst.  Big deal, so he had access to shared drives and scampered off with shared docs and some PowerPoint presentations.  He has no real actionable intel to provide anybody. 
Ames or Hanssen he isn't.  Those guys had the kind of shit you trade a life for.  What this snot-nosed shit has isn't anything they don't already know.

This is best decided in the courts.
are Chinese courts really impartial for a case like this?

I bet if he did this during the Bush administration you would be organizing the protest to drop the charges against him this very moment.

We take our treaty obligations seriously.  But there is the question of whether the charges against him are political in nature.  This is best decided in the courts.

We expect you to take your treaty obligations seriously.

No.

But Hong Kong ones are.  Beijing is annoyed with the HK courts, because they don't care about either the HK or the Beijing government.  Trust me, the HK civil servants will have a much easier time if the HK government or Beijing has any influence on them.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
