China probably can’t get the USA to extradite an American citizen for breaking a Chinese law. The UK can.

Are there any examples in history of the US extraditing someone with no UK ties to the UK?

If you commit a crime in the UK then I would expect extradition to be a genuine risk.

It's a connected world, so online activities are probably pretty grey-areas. If you defraud someone (for example) but they're in another country, where did the crime happen?

The UK can't even get the USA to extradite an American woman who was driving on the wrong side of the road and killed a child.

The US-USA extradition treaties have always been one way.

Yeah that makes sense.

I thought extradition laws usually had some kind of clause like "only applies if it'd be a crime in both jurisdictions", but now I think about that I can't remember where I heard that or why I think it so I will admit complete ignorance.
