Alleged Chinese veto of Snowden extradition from Hong Kong and behind‑the‑scenes legal strategy
Alleged Chinese veto of Snowden extradition from Hong Kong and behind‑the‑scenes legal strategy The passage suggests that China exercised a veto right under a 1999 HK‑US extradition treaty to prevent Edward Snowden’s arrest, citing a high‑level meeting between Xi Jinping and President Obama as a possible motive. It also names specific Hong Kong lawyers (Tibbo, Man, Ho) and a deadline (June 23). While the claim links powerful actors (Xi, Obama, US government) and could be politically sensitive, it lacks corroborating evidence, concrete documents, or financial details, limiting its immediate investigative utility. Key insights: China allegedly held a veto power under a 1999 Hong Kong‑US extradition agreement.; A meeting between Xi Jinping and Barack Obama is cited as context for China’s decision.; Hong Kong officials reportedly told Snowden to leave by June 23.
