Best part was the closing: "Meanwhile, the HKSAR Government has formally written to the US Government requesting clarification on earlier reports about the hacking of computer systems in Hong Kong by US government agencies. The HKSAR Government will continue to follow up on the matter so as to protect the legal rights of the people of Hong Kong."


I laughed out loud at this bit. Translation "Maybe we would have helped but seeing as you're monitoring our networks without our say so - we won't"


Or, alternatively, "You jerks have a lot of nerve, expecting favors from us after being caught with your hands in our pockets."


"But... but.. I was getting this cookie for you!!"


I'm curious if this is going to happen with every country he visits. I really wouldn't be surprised if he has documents for transgressions made by the NSA against every country on his list of places to go. For every alliance we have won with diplomacy, it only takes an act of espionage to act as the fire that burns it down.

I'm all in favor of espionage, but only against companies we are actively hostile with.

I'm really curious if he is going to produce damning evidence of deep, active, ongoing espionage against any of the other four of the five eyes (Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand).


oops. meant "countries" not "companies"
