US is 'biggest villain' for IT spying: Xinhua

** Excuse me but ye protesteth too much China! They're enjoying this game with Snowden who seems to be revealing exactly what suits them for an attack on the US right when the US was exposing some extreme spying by China and the theft of next gen weaponry blueprints, it's all a game, a deflection. Snowden is promising more compromising info on US spying in China later today, just great.

BEIJING: The United States is the world's "biggest villain" for IT espionage, China's official media said on Sunday after new allegations of anti-Beijing snooping emerged.

"These, along with previous allegations, are clearly troubling signs,"
(BS spouted by) the Xinhua news agency said in a commentary following the new claims by former US spy Edward Snowden made to Hong Kong's Sunday Morning Post.
"They demonstrate that the United States, which has long been trying to play innocent as a victim of cyber attacks, has turned out to be the biggest villain in our age," it said.

Xinhua noted that the United States was now trying formally to extradite Snowden from Hong Kong, where he has gone to ground.

"But for other countries, Washington should come clean about its record first. It owes too an explanation to China and other countries it has allegedly spied on. It has to share with the world the range, extent and intent of its clandestine hacking programmes," it said.
