The Far-Reaching Impact of Edward Snowden’s Leaks on U.S.-China Relations
It’s been almost twelve years sence the U.S. Department of Justice accused Edward Snowden of espionage for disclosing classified documents from the National Security Agency (NSA). According to a 2016 report by the House Intelligence Committee, this incident is considered “the most extensive and damaging public release of classified material in the history of U.S. intelligence.” Recently, Snowden—who has secured asylum in Russia and became a citizen there in 2022—has resurfaced in discussions regarding Tulsi Gabbard’s potential appointment as director of national intelligence.
Responses from Chinese Authorities
Despite widespread bipartisan condemnation from American political figures over his actions,one crucial aspect that has often been overlooked is how China’s leadership reacted to Snowden’s leaks. In a strongly worded letter sent to President Obama in 2016, all members of the House Intelligence Committee stated bluntly: “Mr. Snowden is not a patriot; he is not acting as a whistleblower but engages in criminal activities.”
Senator Tom Cotton remarked at that time that “Snowden personifies egotism coupled with treachery,” noting how his unauthorized release had endangered both American lives and alliances globally. Additionally, former Senator Marco Rubio emphasized that because of what Snowdon disclosed, America now finds itself less informed about it’s adversaries than it could have been.
The implications for China were especially significant. One prominent loss was an intelligence-gathering initiative specifically focused on understanding operations within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which severely hampered efforts to monitor Beijing’s clandestine decision-making processes and leadership dynamics.
The Targeting of Huawei and subsequent Developments
Among the many secrets exposed by Snowden were programs targeting Huawei Technologies—a telecommunications giant founded by Ren Zhengfei in 1987 after serving with China’s military engineering corps. Not surprisingly, once targeted under lawful orders from then-President Barack Obama, Huawei began facing increased scrutiny over its ties to state authorities even before these leaks emerged.
China labeled Huawei as a “national champion” back in 1996—a title that facilitated tens of billions worth of government subsidies intended to boost its international growth ambitions through beneficial financing options extended by state-owned banks while receiving support across various governmental agencies.

Concerns over potential national security threats posed by Huawei grew noticeably before 2013; as a notable example, a Pentagon report cited fears regarding their collaboration with military forces.
In particular instances like Sprint Nextel Corporation’s decision not to partner with Huawei due to similar worries or restrictions imposed on them via U.S . government decisions illuminate this growing unease.
A comprehensive bipartisan examination further confirmed distrust towards any foreign meddling possibly manifest within their technological frameworks and practices.
