Edward Snowden spoke to the South China Morning Post and claimed that US government has been hacking Hong Kong and China for years:
One of the targets in the SAR, according to Snowden, was Chinese University and public officials, businesses and students in the city. The documents also point to hacking activity by the NSA against mainland targets.
Snowden believed there had been more than 61,000 NSA hacking operations globally, with hundreds of targets in Hong Kong and on the mainland.
“We hack network backbones – like huge internet routers, basically – that give us access to the communications of hundreds of thousands of computers without having to hack every single one,” he said.
China is back to work after a three day holiday and the media is on the Snowden case. His claims of NSA hacking China are getting top billing on the big Chinese news portals (Netease for example: 美“监控门”揭秘者:美长期入侵中国网络_网易新闻中心) this morning, as expected.
Wednesday’s CCTV Evening News reported on the Snowden case in 美国“监控风波”持续发酵：司法部或将对“泄密者”刑事起诉. CCTV News Thursday morning has a segment on Snowden’s claims–[视频]“棱镜”监控事件 斯诺登：美国政府曾入侵中国电脑.
Xinhua writes Thursday that the Surveillance program is a test of Sino-US ties:
The massive US global surveillance program revealed by a former CIA whistle-blower in Hong Kong is certain to stain Washington’s overseas image and test developing Sino-US ties, analysts said.
Li Haidong, a researcher of American studies at China Foreign Affairs University, said the United States is now stuck in the awkward position of having to explain itself to its citizens and the world following the exposure of Washington’s vast Internet snooping program.
“For months, Washington has been accusing China of cyberespionage, but it turns out that the biggest threat to the pursuit of individual freedom and privacy in the US is the unbridled power of the government,”Li said.
China and Russia are buying increasingly powerful surveillance technologies to intercept communications and try to take control of the Internet, a senior U.S. official said on Thursday.
Alec Ross, the U.S. secretary of state’s senior adviser for innovation, said new players such as Thailand and Ukraine would determine the future shape of the Internet by deciding whether to open up globally or operate more closed national “Intranets”…
The Obama administration is committed to defending Internet freedom, a “pillar of America’s foreign policy priorities” which led it to reject the global treaty last year, Ross said.
The attempt to establish a worldwide policy for oversight of the Internet collapsed in Dubai in December after many Western countries said a compromise plan gave too much power to United Nations and other officials.
The United States and allies fought to keep the mandate of the International Telecommunication Union, a U.N. agency, from extending to oversight of the Internet, fearing it could lead to increased censorship and a dramatic reduction in anonymity.
Mr. Ross was likely unaware of NSA activities, but given what Mr. Snowden is revealing the State Department should probably ease off on the Internet freedom rhetoric for a while.
We should expect renewed calls from the PRC and Russia, among many other nations, for a global Internet oversight policy, as well as increased efforts by countries with the required resources, like Russia and China, to build “safer” Internets for their countries.
There is no shortage of irony, given that last year Beijing had to assume the former Chongqing police chief Wang Lijun told the US all sorts of political secrets when he fled into the US consulate in Chengdu.
Some consider Snowden a traitor, some consider him a hero. But if he really wanted to go to Iceland, why did he go to the PRC first?

Building a Better Housing Market – Caixin Despite government efforts to cool the property market, land sales in China have surged for the first five months of the year, setting record prices.

A smarter way to deal with China – latimes.com–Joseph Nye World politics today is different from that of the last two centuries. It is now like a three-dimensional chess game in which interstate military power is highly concentrated in the United States, interstate economic power is distributed in a multipolar manner and power over transnational issues such as climate change, terrorism and pandemics is highly diffused. The structure of power is not unipolar, multipolar or chaotic; it is all three at the same time. Thus, a smart strategy must handle different distributions of power in different domains and understand the trade-offs among them. It makes no more sense to see the world through a purely realist lens — that focuses only on the top chessboard and predicts conflict with China — than it does to see through a liberal lens that looks primarily at a single board and predicts only cooperation
