US VERSUS CHINA AN “EXPOSE” BY EDWARD SNOWDEN , REPORTED as “Tsinghua`s hub role made its target for NSA” This article appeared in the South China Morning Post print edition
To confirm the whistleblowing act of Edward Snowden on US hacking Chinese university and servers, Prof Xu Ke, deputy director of Computer Networks at t Tsinghua University explained that data passing through their network backbones were not encrypted but that the data would have no use for individuals mining or spying it but might be of great use for countries and organisations.
Snowden revealed how US NSA are spying on China and Hong Kong, it was mind blowing to have this coming from a 29 years old ex employee of Central Intelligence Agency, could it be he is frustrated by the system, or he is under an intoxication or probably because he wants fame, or that he truly meant to save the Victims of US cyberwarfare out of good heart? This is a question i don't have an answer to.
I was revealed in this report that US spied not only on the Chinese university being the home of Hong Kong Internet Exchange but also on the Telecommunication players in china to have access to the SMS and other data needed by them .
It was surprising to know that about 63 computers and servers of the Chinese university were attacked in a single day in January 2013. Another area that need clarification is the answer to the question on WHY is US doing these? May to keep firm grip of the world power ego?. May be the real answer lie in what actually NSA is looking for in terms of data. I believe if there is answer to what exactly the data they need are , then, we can answer the why question.

Also what will be the fate of Snowden as he has breached confidentiality?
