Of course, the former NSA contractor Edward Snowden’s revelations of the global reach and the extent of America’s Internet and telephone surveillance are, to say the least, unpleasant. But America’s questionable means of satisfying its legitimate security concerns are certainly less damaging for Europe in the long run than is Chinese industrial espionage.
当然，前NSA合同工斯诺登（Edward Snowden）揭露美国互联网和电话监视监听可谓无处不在，无孔不入，此事至少令人不快。但从长期看，美国安抚其合理安全担忧的问题手段对欧洲的伤害显然小于中国的工业间谍。美国在拿法治精神冒险，但中国还远远称不上法治国家。
