If you think Snowden leaks was about 'one illegal program' you are seriously misinformed and have a lot of catching up to do. These are large scale and illegal mass surveillance programs. [1][2][3][4][5]. More can be found here. [6]
No one has been held accountable for these illegal programs. The then head of NSA James Clapper brazenly lied to Congress and has still not being held accountable. [7]. On the contrary there is a grand jury out to get Assange, Manning is back in jail and Snowden is being hounded and in exile. No good deed goes unpunished.
China had nothing to do with the Snowden leaks or any of these secret mass surveillance programs as you will discover. Happy reading!

- lern_too_spel 8y agoYou are clearly the misinformed one. None of the links you posted are for domestic surveillance programs, and none of them are illegal. The first two and the fifth are data processing systems for lawfully acquired data. The third is not even an NSA program. The fourth is not domestic. James Clapper was never the head of the NSA (except in the sense that Trump is the head of the NSA). > China had nothing to do with the Snowden leaks or any of these secret mass surveillance programs as you will discover. You are severely underinformed. Snowden immediately revealed Chinese targets in a failed attempt to gain asylum from China. The PRC laughed him off, as anybody with a high school degree would have expected. https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/article/1260306/edward-snowden-classified-us-data-shows-hong-kong-hacking-targets https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/article/1260306/edward-s...
