The US and China do not have an extradition treaty. ie even if they wanted to do something, they can’t. The same goes for Russia

China absolutely could do something if they wanted to. No treaty just means they aren't obligated to "do something", not that they can't. For example, if the US wanted to reinstate the $800 no tariff policy in exchange for Vernon, I guarantee you they'd arrest him and turn him over.
I can't find any reference to Vernon's citizenship, ie if he is a Chinese citizen or not. Which would change the math.
Just recently, the US and China had repatriated fugitives to each other, despite having no extradition treaty. No extradition treaty does not mean transferring suspects is impossible.
