U.S. Envoy Blasts Hong Kong Authorities Over Snowden Departure
U.S. Envoy Blasts Hong Kong Authorities Over Snowden Departure
South China Morning Post - June 28, 2013
By TE-PING CHEN
HONG KONG—The U.S. government's top envoy in Hong Kong slammed local authorities on Friday, telling foreign press that the city's willingness to let former government contractor Edward Snowden leave its borders had left a "very bitter taste in American policy makers' mouths."
Hong Kong has long had deep ties with the U.S., spanning everything from the regular port calls the U.S. Navy regularly makes to its shores to the city's longstanding currency peg to the U.S. dollar.
According to consul general Stephen Young, though, Mr. Snowden's departure from Hong Kong has "injected a tone of distrust" into the relationship that he believes will require both time and effort to heal.
In particular, while Mr. Young said that China was guilty of "misbehavior" in failing to stop Mr. Snowden from leaving Hong Kong, he said that Hong Kong itself would ultimately face the full repercussions for Washington's anger. Separately, U.S. State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell suggested this week that Mr. Snowden's departure from Hong Kong might affect the U.S.'s future willingness to include the city into its visa-waiver program, which would allow Hong Kong passport holders to obtain 90-day visa-free access to the U.S. for business or tourism.
"They've been throwing out some arguments as to what was going on. But frankly I don't think we had a good-faith partner throughout that process," Mr. Young said of Hong Kong authorities.
"We'll get over China's misbehavior; we expect less from China too," he said. "I certainly personally would hate to see a situation where we decide to treat Hong Kong like just another part of China. So the question is how do we get out of this, and I don't know."
For their part, Hong Kong authorities have said that the U.S. request for a provisional warrant to arrest Mr. Snowden was delayed by a lack of supporting documentation, as well as confusion over how Mr. Snowden was identified.
Earlier this week, Hong Kong justice secretary Rimsky Yuen, said that the city's immigration records indicate that Mr. Snowden's middle name is Joseph. However, documents submitted as part of the U.S. request for Mr. Snowden's provisional arrest warrant alternately described him as Edward James Snowden, or simply Edward J. Snowden, said Mr. Yuen. Though Hong Kong authorities said that they had sought clarifications from the U.S. on June 21, no reply was forthcoming by the time Mr. Snowden decided to leave the city. Accordingly, Mr. Yuen said, authorities had no legal basis on which to stop him from leaving.
Any suggestion that Hong Kong had been deliberately dragging its heels on the U.S. request is "totally untrue," Mr. Yuen said.
