On the Snowden Episode: A Threat to Russian and China
Any country harboring the U.S. intelligence agent Edward Snowden, who cracked and leaked information, will face the consequences. Kerry said the United States is expecting that no country will help Snowden avoid facing the charges of the law. Kerry mentioned that if China-ruled Hong Kong helped Snowden escape to Moscow intentionally, the consequences would be bad.
