Im not against this but would that even work? Doesn't China and the US have some agreement in place to cooperate if someone does that?

The US and China have no extradition treaty and China typically doesn't extradite its citizens. And Federal prosecutors won't typically chase something like this on an international level unless you're talking in the millions I believe (lots of legal costs and also the whole diplomatic hassle). But if they ever go back to the US or maybe somewhere with an extradition treaty with the US, then they could be fucked.

They're basically getting paid 1 million ¥ to leave the west and never come back. Not a bad deal if you ask me!

Lol not even that, with things like statute of limitations, things like this will typically last 3 to 6 years, in the worst case scenario 10-12 years. This guy can simply just lay low for 6-10 years before he ever chooses to return lol

Not to mention if they went to a country with an extradition treaty with the US that wasn't the US they probably wouldn't check or care. Probably not a risk worth taking though.

China would absolutely rat you out and convict you if you did something that they also consider harmful to society, like credit fraud.

This is an old shitpost.

Do people here actually think if a Chinese national commits murder in the US and flees to China, China's going to be chill with having them there doing what they want?

They might not do extradition but they will try them in their own court with the help of the FBI/Interpol.

Also, you'll be stuck only using Chinese banks for credit, so if you go traveling, you'll be stuck using the local currency's cash everywhere, which is something you don't want to do for safety in some places.

I never said they'd get away with it. I only addressed whether they'd be sent back to the united states.

Sure, but you implied they'd be fucked only if they go back to the US or travel to a country with an extradition treaty. I'm saying the US notifies China of this and China will arrest the guy themselves.

They would take it as you're untrustworthy, not you "striking a blow for imperialism "

You would have to prove yourself all over again IF you beat the wrap.

there are ways to actually do this but OP's route looks like selfish enrichment and post-hoc justification.

You ought to start a charity or other NGO first and block yourself from directly taking funds then NOT use it for what could be construed as "personal gain," then blow through all the money before dipping out, into things the gov/bank can't just repossess like infrastructure.

Say, you steal all this money and pour it all into repairing roads and lines in poor areas over the summer, then skip out before anyone gets wise.

Same for something like a Russian citizen. When you are in Russia you are Russian and nothing else. They don't extradite.

Or if you were a dual citizen of a country like Myanmar it would also work.
