> It's a matter of record that the US prevented him travelling after he got to Hong Kong.

Also, bull!@#!. _CHINA_ prevented the US from traveling after he got to Hong Kong. If the US had its way, then Snowden would be in jail right now.

CHINA prevented him from traveling after he got to Hong Kong. The US had very little power over the whole issue at that point.

There are other parties at play here.

China had an extremely important role with Snowden. They didn't care about the "passport", they were buying time looking for some other country to take him in.

I guess Russia took him in after that (Snowden didn't want to go to Russia. So I doubt that Snowden is a Russian spy... but if he knew what was good for him, he probably was forced to give some of his secrets to the Russians under the table.)

China does not have extradition treaty with US. There couldn't be any extradition embarrassment then.
