I believe its in China's interests politically to have him come out and make the US Government look like the assholes they are (but all governments are). However, someone had to make it well worth his while to just get on a plane and say goodbye forever to everything he ever knew and most likely his freedom.
Obama had just got done attacking them for their Cyberwarfare and constant hacking of US systems. Obama is also a pussy, so it's quite likely that they attacked right back via this guy in my opinion. It's also highly unlikely this all happened on the spur of the moment. What might have happened on the spur of the moment however is a phone call that was "be on flight 854 to Hong Kong in 3hrs or the deal is off".
There are endless reasons why things wouldn't make sense.. but that's only because we are attempting to apply our own understandings and perspectives to events - not only that but to inaccurate and incomplete information and that's not overly effective when applying those understandings to things we do not understand or have little to no experience with.
All i know with 100% certainty based on my experience is that neither China or Russia is doing anything unless its to their advantage. There is little to no chance that they don't have possession of everything he is traveling with.
