From the article: "On 4 July the secretary of state signed an order for Mr McKinnon's extradition to the United States for charges connected with computer hacking.

Otherwise, what's the difference?

Oh, nothing aside of the fact that UK (government?) has always been the USA lamehuevos (soory, could not find the exact translation, but it means they are always willing to please the USA government, even if that means screwing their own people).

On the other hand, USA would never accept the extradition of that person to China.
