This document appears to be page 183 of a narrative report or book included in a House Oversight production (Bates stamped HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020335). It details Edward Snowden's May 2013 trip to Hong Kong, discussing the heavy surveillance capabilities of Chinese intelligence services operating out of the Prince of Wales skyscraper. The text analyzes the geopolitical implications, noting that while Snowden viewed himself as a whistleblower, Chinese intelligence likely viewed him as a pawn, and the US State Department had to issue strict security protocols for devices in the region due to cyber espionage threats.
