University of Hong Kong law professor Simon Young explains the relationship between China and Hong Kong as it relates to the Snowden situation.
Comments
The downside first; being an audio interview there is no transcript to allow easy looking back and checking details, It is also lots tougher to quote interesting bits. The upside for me is that it can be downloaded and listened to on a commute, two hours or so a day for me right now, or while doing mundane chores.
The professor does cover the relationship between Hong Kong and mainland China well, and some of it is surprising to me, but also gives the best breakdown I have seen/heard about Snowden’s legal situation there and the possible ways it could play out. It appears that if the U.S. does file for extradition that Snowden has a decent chance to get asylum, but that during pending legal procedures he would be held in jail under conditions the professor described as harsh. He says that Snowden has a great deal of sympathy and support in Hong Kong and that under one scenario Hong Kong judges could preempt any decisive involvement by the mainland. Quite interesting, IMO.
