I’m impressed by Hong Kong’s response. They basically said F You to Obummer. Said Barry didn’t provide enough info. on extradition request, which means they’re calling the Kenyan a dumbass. I’ve lived in China for 3 years and I learned the hard way, when it comes to clever schemes nobody is better at scheming than the Chinese. You read their ancient history and classic literary works it’s always about how to fool your enemies and how not to get deceived by your enemies. I bet the Chinese were laughing real hard when they first saw the extradition papers. The Chinese are expert chess players and Barry is a third-rate checkers man.
“It acknowledged the U.S. extradition request, but said U.S. documentation did not “fully comply with the legal requirements under Hong Kong law.” It said additional information was requested from Washington, but since the Hong Kong government “has yet to have sufficient information to process the request for provisional warrant of arrest, there is no legal basis to restrict Mr. Snowden from leaving Hong Kong.”
The statement said Hong Kong had informed the U.S. of Snowden’s departure. It added that it wanted more information about alleged hacking of computer systems in Hong Kong by U.S. government agencies which Snowden had revealed.”
It was not Hong Kong’s response but it was China. But Obama got the big finger up his backside.
