is unauthorized war? I see NSA is protecting US interests by hacking into Chinese government's networks, you do realize Tsinghua University is owned by the Chinese government do you?
Not even their own citizens believe it, so what Snowden says carry a lot of weight. PRISM's problem is domestic spying, I don't think anyone object spying on foreign nations, especially a nation like China.
Interestingly most of your post has nothing to do with what I said or the article itself, you're just trying to blacken the US as much as possible, good try
"independent nation are able to run it how they see fit" is the same logic the communist party used to fend off human right criticisms. By this logic, it is ok for Nazi to use concentration camps or for Japanese to murder entire cities, I sure hope this is not what you meant.
Because they have nuclear capability that can reach the US, is taking a lot of jobs from the US workers and held tons of US debt, they are also polluting the air and water like crazy, all of these can affect you. Also we're not talking about any NSA claims here, we're talking about Snowden's claim and what this particular claim says about him.
As for your question, does it even need an answer? In WWII, Japan bombed US, which is bad not only for US but for the free world; then the US bombed Japan which is very good not only for the US but also for all the people suffering under Japanese occupation. So yeah, an action can be good or bad depending on the circumstances.
since it doesn't help his case against PRISM, it hurts US interests and has no benefit for the US people, so the only conclusion I can draw is he is working for the Chinese side.
a free country, typical Chinese propaganda trick. The very fact that this software is: a) revealed by a US Senate committee; b) its existence published by a news paper; c) its developer and customers answered questions and criticism proves US is much better than your communist dictatorship. Just because you control all your newspapers doesn't mean we couldn't find your dirty secrets, there's plenty of Weibo gets out before being deleted by censors, you can't fool your people forever.
I'm not saying exposing PRISM makes Snowden a Chinese spy, I'm saying exposing the US hacking of Chinese university makes him a Chinese spy. If you have argument for or against PRISM you can argument with someone else, I'm not talking about PRISM here.
Morals and ethics are no exception. Also note I'm not defending NSA's PRISM program, I'm questioning Snowden's motive of revealing US hacking Chinese university, these two are totally unrelated.
expression? Wait...
Do you even see how ridiculous your argument is? Just because you have something against NSA and US government doesn't give you the right to trivialize the pain Chinese people suffered under the communist dictatorship.
EU? But we're not talking about US hacking EU here, we're talking about US hacking China, and why Mr. Snowden reveals this.
Anyway I'm not trying to justify PRISM, it is you who is trying to justify Mr. Snowden's actions.
