EDWARD SNOWDEN & DANIEL ELLSBERG
Edward Snowden is a former intelligence officer who served the CIA, NSA, and DIA for nearly a decade as a subject matter expert on technology and cybersecurity. In 2013, he revealed that the NSA was seizing the private records of billions of individuals who had not been suspected of any wrongdoing, resulting in the most significant reforms to US surveillance policy since 1978. He has received awards for courage, integrity, and public service, and was named the top global thinker of 2013 by Foreign Policy magazine. Today, he works on methods of enforcing human rights through the application and development of new technologies. He joined the board of Freedom of the Press Foundation in February 2014.
Daniel Ellsberg was a strategic analyst at the RAND Corporation, and consultant to the Defense Department and the White House, specializing in problems of the command and control of nuclear weapons, nuclear war plans, and crisis decision-making. Ellsberg joined the Defense Department in 1964 as Special Assistant to Assistant Secretary of Defense (International Security Affairs) John McNaughton, working on the escalation of the war in Vietnam before transferring to the State Department in 1965 to serve two years at the U.S. Embassy in Saigon. On return to the RAND Corporation in 1967, Ellsberg worked on the top secret McNamara study of U.S. Decision-making in Vietnam, 1945-68, which later came to be known as the Pentagon Papers. In 1969, he photocopied the 7,000 page study and gave it to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee; in 1971 he gave it to the New York Times, the Washington Post and 17 other newspapers. His trial, on twelve felony counts posing a possible sentence of 115 years, was dismissed in 1973 on grounds of governmental misconduct against him, which led to the convictions of several White House aides and figured in the impeachment proceedings against President Nixon. He is the author of three books: Papers on the War (1971), Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers (2002), and Risk, Ambiguity and Decision (2001).

The name Kowloon stems from the term Nine Dragons, alluding to eight mountains and a Chinese emperor: Kowloon Peak, Tung Shan, Tate's Cairn, Temple Hill, Unicorn Ridge, Lion Rock, Beacon Hill, Crow's Nest and Emperor Bing of Song.[1] The part of Kowloon south of Boundary Street, together with Stonecutters Island, was ceded by Qing China to the United Kingdom under the Convention of Peking of 1860. For many years the area remained largely undeveloped, used by the British mainly for tiger-hunting expeditions.[2] The part of Kowloon north of Boundary Street (New Kowloon) was leased by the British as part of the New Territories under the 1898 Second Convention of Peking for 99 years. Within New Kowloon is Kowloon City, an area of Hong Kong where the Kowloon Walled City used to be located. The Kowloon Walled City itself was demolished in 1993. The same area was called Guanfuchang (官富場) during the Song dynasty (960–1279). "New Kowloon" has remained part of the New Territories.
Statutorily, "Kowloon" is only the area south of Boundary Street and Stonecutters Island, but in common use, New Kowloon is not regarded as part of the New Territories but as an integral part of the Kowloon urban area whether north or south of Boundary Street.
Large-scale development of Kowloon began in the early-20th century, with the construction of the Kowloon-Canton Railway and the Kowloon Wharf, but because of Kowloon's close proximity to Kai Tak Airport, building construction was limited by flight paths. As a result, compared to Hong Kong Island, Kowloon has a much lower skyline.[1] After World War II, Kowloon became extremely congested when slums for refugees from the newly established China gave way to public housing estates, mixed with private residential, commercial and industrial areas.
The area of reclaimed land known as West Kowloon was once home to a dockyard for the Royal Navy.
A 13-foot high stone wall was built in 1847 around Kowloon. The 1911 census recorded a population of 7,306, with most being Hakka.[3] The invasion of China by Japan in 1937 caused the population of Kowloon to explode. Between 1937 and 1939, 750,000 refugees arrived in Kowloon and nearby areas, with many being homeless.[4]
Are Hong Kong’s Edward Snowden chickens finally coming home to roost?
As China and the US square up on almost every front in the fight to shape a new global order, Niall Fraser argues that the day Hong Kong turned David to Washington’s Goliath has never been forgotten
Two years after Snowden, NSA revelations still hurting US tech firms in China
The you-couldn’t-make-this-stuff-up justification Yuen gave was that the feds got Snowden’s middle name wrong in documents they submitted seeking his arrest.
Given the heat surrounding Snowden at the time, Yuen might as well have given the middle finger to Uncle Sam.
In June 2013, after consulting Beijing as he is constitutionally required to do, Yuen did something you don’t see every day. To cut a long story short, he put the brakes on an urgent US Department of Justice request to arrest NSA whistle-blower-in-chief, Edward Snowden, who was hiding out in the SAR at the time.
Within days, and before the paperwork was up to Yuen’s exacting standards – the man the US government wanted to silence with every fibre optic of its being, was on a plane outta here to sanctuary in Moscow. The rest, as they say, is history.
In the immediate aftermath of this momentous snub, the diplomatic doublespeak gene kicked in and officials on both sides made all the right kiss-and-make up noises.
Macau billionaire Ng Lap-seng convicted in UN bribery case
But a quick look at what has happened on the ground in the years since suggests the role of both special administrative regions – Hong Kong and Macau – as centres of intrigue and espionage is only just beginning.
In September of 2015, barely three months after Snowden exited Hong Kong, on the same day President Xi Jinping landed in the US for a landmark state visit, US federal agents swooped to arrest Ng Lap Seng, the billionaire Macau businessman with strong connections to both the Bill Clinton White House and Beijing, charging him with bribery at the highest levels of the United Nations of which he has subsequently been convicted, but tellingly, not yet sent to jail for.
G20 ‘staircase snub’ for Obama was United States’ decision, reveals Chinese official
Almost exactly a year later, when Barack Obama made a return visit to the G20 meeting in Hangzhou, the US president had to depart Air Force One by a side door – without a red-carpet welcome – in an unprecedented incident which both sides played down but everyone knew was a snub.
Fast forward a couple of years, Patrick Ho Chi-ping, Hong Kong’s former home affairs secretary, was arrested and is facing trial in the US on charges – which he denies – that he bribed African officials on behalf of a major mainland company. Sound familiar? The case against Ho comes from the same wider probe into Ng and UN corruption.

Last but not least, this month, Jerry Chun Shing Lee, a former CIA agent who was employed as security at Christie’s auction house in Hong Kong for a number of years, was arrested by the FBI in New York on suspicion of being linked to leaks which led to the collapse – and in some cases the killing – of Washington’s network of intelligence agents in China.
