... another bad joke "Meanwhile, Beijing said it was "gravely concerned about the recent disclosure of US-related institutions hacking into China's internet". Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying , in a statement on the ministry's website, said: "We have already filed a diplomatic complaint with the US." Poor Chinese they did not know, does he thinks we are all silly people? or is he afraid of a home grown " Edward Snowden" doing the same?

Hi TJ, Impressive, the way that Hong Kong handled the whole situation. It showed the world that it was not going to be the US's lap dog (unlike the UK) and that even a small country can do what is right in the face of threats and pressure to do otherwise. Obviously they warned Edward and gave him time to make the necessary arrangements to depart safely. Meanwhile in the US politicos are falling over themselves denouncing Snowden for revealing "secrets" and painting him as a traitor. Outside of the Guardian few in the media are asking WHY the public was lied to and questioning the authority of government to snoop on US citizens. It seems most Americans are dumbed down by too much television and spin to see the forest for the trees.
