6 great points, it hadn't occurred to me that the legal infrastructure for defending those that flee perilous conditions in their homeland is already well in place because of mainland china. Having three different players, US, China and Hong Kons, definitely muddies the waters in a way that favors a long and drawn out process.

Still, it's unlikely that Snowden ever steps foot in the US again as a free man, wouldn't you think? Can you imagine knowingly making that choice?
