He wasn’t a walk-in, his lawyer contacted the Chinese to see if they’d let him leave and continue on.

It seems like you’re intentionally not interested in learning the details of the story, so I’m not going to engage with you anymore.

Think what you like, just don’t misinform the reader.

What else would you call a disgruntled SharePoint admin who shows up unannounced on your figurative doorstep with an enormous volume of classified material belonging to an adversary?

I’m well aware of the reality of the story but if you’re going to let your own ideology shape how you perceive them, I’m not going to stop you.

If hiding indoors in shitholes is “showing up unannounced on your figurative doorstep”, I have a bridge to sell you - cheap.

Your comments make it clear you are not aware of the realities of the story: https://www.dw.com/en/snowden-sought-refuge-among-hong-kongs...

or you believe some of them have been broadly misrepresented by multiple sources

and you’re failing to say that, which is a waste of the reader’s time - and mine.

Say what you’re trying to say - or bugger off?
