The Glomar Response is getting a little tiresome given that nearly everyone is now aware of the surveillance program. WRT China, the NSA has had a listening post inside China, in cooperation with the Chinese, ever since shortly after the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran. While the missions are different, it should leave no doubts in the minds of the Chinese intelligence people as to the technical capabilities of the NSA. Between that and the fact that the Chinese are no slouches themselves in communications (their public communications infrastructure is vastly larger than in the US), or in spying on their citizens. I doubt the Chinese have much to learn from these press releases.
