[QUOTE="kdolo, post: 338490, member: 1487"] [b]RE: NSA Whistleblower Edward Snowden In His Own Words[/b] South America is a no go. No tradition of strong rule of law - but just the opposite: coups, revolutions, separatists, human rights violations, etc.... Hong Kong is perfect: 1. Extremely strong rule of law - individual/human rights - even better than ours at this point. 2. Extremely rich: i.e. cannot be bribed - they have plenty. 3. Ethnically Chinese: i.e. extremely proud in self/culture: no willingness to kiss 'the (white) man's' ass. 4. Chinese territory: NO WAY - will the Chinese allow US intelligence to pursue an op to get this guy on their soil after going there seeking refuge: to do so will be seen a weak and a loss of face. -very important to Asians. This move was well chosen. [/QUOTE]
