The outrage is momentary until the chance for gain outweighs it. Snowden's better sticking it out where he is IMO.

Big Brother blinded: Security fears in China as smog disrupts cameras
Teams of scientists assigned to find a solution as heavy pollution makes national surveillance network useless, raising fear of terror attack
To the central government, the smog that blankets the country is not just a health hazard, it's a threat to national security.
Last month visibility in Harbin dropped to below three metres because of heavy smog. On days like these, no surveillance camera can see through the thick layers of particles, say scientists and engineers.
To the authorities, this is a serious national security concern. Beijing has invested heavily to build up a nationwide surveillance network that lets police watch every major street and corner in main cities.

You can't make this stuff up.

But you might be wrong. Maybe you can make this stuff up - after all, Chinese magicians have been able to perform fantastic feats using smoke and mirrors...maybe they are worried that the general populace will become expert in it too...

So, one valid question would seem to be: Is he intending continuing that history, or doing something about correcting it?

I'd say that the strings are showing more than anything else. The President of the United States is a position of great power at the behest of great powers it seems to me.
