In Hong Kong it takes one year for the Court of Appeals from the Court of First Instance and further up to the final appellate court for three years so that the trial will be done very slowly. Also, as Mr. Snowden's case is not a typical case like a precedent case, it is expected that judges and lawyers will deadly discuss all the details based on British legal system. For example, in 2003My wife killed her husband after letting her sleep a strawberry milkshake with sleeping pills and letting her sleepKnown as "Strawberry · Milkshake murder case"It has been 10 years since the incident occurred repeatedly in trial and retrial, Corrente anticipates that the same thing will happen to Mr. Snowden as well.

As Hong Kong is a very small city, cyberculture is developing and SIM cards can be purchased everywhere in the city, with an average number of SIM cards per citizen of 2.3. In addition, the Internet line is an optical fiber communication that can be accessed from anywhere, and communication charges are offered at a lower price than any broadband company in New York. Internet cable installed between the United States and Asia was damaged when an earthquake occurred in Taiwan several years ago, but there was sometimes no problem at all in Hong Kong. Moreover, it seems that Hong Kong 's Internet does not receive censorship from China also to Mr. Snowden.

In Hong Kong, which has not implemented elections in general, government plans and decisions are covered with citizen demonstrations, etc., public opinion has stronger power than other cities in the world. According to Corrente, it is a very advantageous strategy that Mr. Snowden well put on public opinion with power.

Hong Kong, the special administrative area of ​​China,One Country Two Systems (one country with two systems)It is called "police and currency, immigration and customs system," although it is part of China, with politics and laws different from that of China. China will not make a cautious stance towards Hong Kong in order to keep Hong Kong's huge financial and big business owners down. So it is unlikely that China will take action to reverse Hong Kong citizens to Mr. Snowden.

At the same time, the influence of politics on Hong Kong in the United States is strong, and Hong Kong is always in a triangular relationship that needs to consider "China's national interest", "American demand", "Hong Kong's independence position in international society". Corrente predicts that Hong Kong and China will take the stance of avoiding the legal disposition to Mr. Snoden as much as possible to cause complications.

Corrente, in an interview with Mr. SnowdenSansha partyIt is a small thing but mentioning what I mentioned is important. The Sansha party is a gang group based in Hong Kong, except for Hong Kong, it is a less international gangster who knows only Hong Kong gangsters and police film fans. Corrente believed that Mr. Snowden might have a deal such as letting Mr. Snowden hand over to the United States instead of releasing the arrestor between the United States and the three parties, I expect it.

In addition, there are 27 cases of murder incidents in Hong Kong in 2012, and in Hong Kong, one of the safest cities in the world, it is aimed at sniffing Mr. Snoden through the window of the staying hotel, It is said that it will not happen in realistic terms to kidnap on the street.
