He didn't say anything that isn't already known.
He's only confirming what others have said and the government has denied or kept buried in appeals courts.

Snowden claims support the Chinese assertions. The guy just confirmed them what they had not been able to prove. This is a serious crime.

You gullible suckers are falling for this hook, line and sinker.

The USG and NSA were accused of this back in 2006..7 years ago by whistleblowers.
So this is not news.

This is nowhere near a serious crime. Just stop it. It is well known that the Chinese hack us and we do it back. Nothing top secret about that at all.

NSA leaker Edward Snowden: U.S. targets China with hackers - The Washington Post

HONG KONG — Edward Snowden, the self-confessed leaker of secret surveillance documents, claimed Wednesday that the United States has mounted massive hacking operations against hundreds of Chinese targets since 2009.

The former contractor, whose work at the National Security Agency gave him access to highly classified U.S. intelligence, made the assertions in an interview with the South China Morning Post. The newspaper said he showed it “unverified documents” describing an extensive U.S. campaign to obtain information from computers in Hong Kong and mainland China.

“We hack network backbones — like huge Internet routers, basically — that give us access to the communications of hundreds of thousands of computers without having to hack every single one,” he told the newspaper.

According to Snowden, the NSA has engaged in more than 61,000 hacking operations worldwide, including hundreds aimed at Chinese targets. Among the targets were universities, businesses and public officials
In the article did the South China Morning Post provide any statistics about the Chinese hacking into other countries? Their complaining is kind of ironic isn't it?
