万花筒 2013-06-18&06-20 外交部对斯诺登事件不予置评(在线收听) |
Officials in Beijing are distancing themselves from the issue of National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden. During a regular Foreign Ministry briefing on Thursday the spokesperson told reporters: Sorry, but we don't have information on this right now. But they may have some later.
Since relocating to Hongkong after his tell-all revelation about the United States Government's secret phone and Internet data monitoring program, Snowden has spoken to the English language newspaper the South China Morning Post. During an interview, Snowden said he'd fight extradition charges in court should the US issue an arrest warrant. He said he plans to let the people and authorities of Hongkong decide his fate.
And for now at least they appeared to support him. A small rally sprung up in front of the US consulate with demonstrators holding signs calling for Snowden to be allowed to remain at liberty. A larger march in Snowden's honour is planned for this weekend. |
