My opinion only ... if the Chinese govt want to find him, they will find him.

I am not sure how good or bad our diplomatic relationship is with China at the moment. I suspect it is more about improved diplomacy, as to why our police are not naming him. In other words, if we act diplomatic maybe the Chinese govt will look for him and let us bring him back to Australia.

I think China might do that only because they wouldn't want him to be around their people either.

Then again, they might just 'disappear' him and be done with it, to avoid the hassle.

Hopefully he is not the son or relative of a wealthy, influential person. I only wonder if he comes from money because he was able to come to Australia for holidays and to study.

Although they say that he did work here as an itinerant worker (presumably a working holiday), so maybe he comes from a middle class family.

China doesn't allow extradition of its citizens.

Yes, I realise that we don't have an extradition treaty with China, but it doesn't mean they can't return him if they want to. Their legal system is not like ours.
