There are thousands of Chinese spies in America, both in government and the private sector.
They do not “go public”. That is not the purpose of a spy; they simply bring information back to their handlers and you never know about them unless they are one of the very few that are caught.
Snowden going public tells us that he is not spying for another country. See my other post for what is going on. Note that Snowden may have been operating for wikileaks or he may be an independent whistleblower who simply chose to use wikileaks to go public. Snowden saw the treatment of William Binney and others and knew that he could not go public here in America, the stories would simply not be carried in the captive US press.
Those are the lamest excuses I’ve ever heard floated.
Spies look for information...for saboteurs, information and media publicity are just tools of the trade.
Binney’s part of VIPS, VIPS is LaRouche bunch. LaRouche is based where, Germany?
