If China and Russia don't want him, going to Switzerland or Sweden might actually be a good idea. He'd be gambling, but if he can convince them that he is basically a political refugee they might let him stay. If he went somewhere like Venezuela or Ecuador he'd be dead in a week.

The first question is would they accept him to even come?

If they do let him in, it would probably be a gamble worth taking. That leak yesterday about the NSA spying on EU nations wasn't by accident. There may be enough political upsetness somewhere in the EU for one of them to take him in.

Maybe, maybe not. Those wouldn't be high on my list of flee nations though.
