Snowden: 'I have data on EVERY NSA operation against China'
NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden has claimed he taught a course in “cyber-counterintelligence” against China and has access to data on every active operation mounted against the People’s Republic by the US spy agency.
In a lengthy interview with the New York Times, Snowden revealed more about his time at the National Security Agency and addressed US government concerns that Russian or Chinese spies may have compromised the classified documents he pilfered before fleeing to Hong Kong.
The docs never even made it to Russia – instead Snowden left them with journalists he met in Hong Kong before flying to Moscow, he said. Snowden told the paper, apparently using encrypted online comms, that there was a “zero per cent chance” any of the documents had found their way into China’s hands because he was effectively able to second guess Chinese intelligence.
