I can think of a word that rhymes with patriot for this guy.
That said it was great to hear the congress and the heads of the departments agreeing that the entire process deserves review. There was zero animosity, etc at the finance committee meeting today. Very cool to see when the government is working, a dialog is happening, etc.
But this guy is the ultimate sophomore, and if you ask me he was turned by China or just by some dreams of entering into some 31337 hax0r club illuminati.
All for leaking a powerpoint detailing what was codified in law over the past decade.
As things continue to develop in Hong Kong I am more and more impressed by his choice of venue. I would not call him an idiot and I would not want to wager anything important on my chess skills against him.
Hong Kong is actually the perfect place because he is able to play three distinct groups off eachother. The immediately obvious parties are the US and China who both are likely to look at this in terms of what he knows, but then there is also the large-scale concern in Hong Kong over encroachment by the Chinese government so he is able to play Hong Kong off China as well. It is one thing to play two groups off eachother but three gives him a significant chance.
Moreover an extradition request would be a total game changer. Right now it is a game of chicken. Extradition procedings woudl turn it into a game of national security assets and intra-Chinese politics.
The fear of him already being turned by the Chinese is another thing he is able to play off of.
