China is a state with a poor human rights record and unlike the US will systematically deny people basic human rights for entirely political reasons.
I can't even begin to understand your comment; obviously Edward Snowden fled to Russia, because if he fled to a country with an extradition treaty with the US he'd be extradited. I can't see a white, English-speaking dude trying to defect to Cuba or China if given the choice.
