Have you ever wondered why there is no Edward Snowden of China, despite the fact the Chinese equivalence of NSA is undoubtedly as much aggressive, if not more? Such a person would have been suicidal, not to mention no news organizations would be willing to publish their information. In such an environment anonymous source is the norm. It has to be.
Unfortunately that also provides plausible deniability, as your post illustrates.
- sudosysgen 6y agoIsn't Chinese surveillance and censorship completely out in the open? Why would there need to be an Edward Snowden? There is already gobs of evidence of total surveillance, so why would someone risk their skin to expose what is already known and established fact?
