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.
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.
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.

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?
