“China’s official army newspaper branded the U.S. Internet surveillance programme exposed by former spy Edward Snowden as ‘frightening’, and accused the US of being a ‘habitual offender’ when it comes to network monitoring. The People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Daily hit out at the US for implying that spying on citizens from other countries was justified, and said that the PRISM monitoring programme had probably been used to collect large amounts of data unrelated to anti-terrorism operations. The remarks about the programme are among the most scathing to appear in China’s state-run press following Beijing’s refusal to make an official comment.”
