Update ,13.6.2013.
In an interview at an undisclosed Hong Kong location published in the South China Morning Post on Wednesday, Mr Snowden said he believed there had been more than 61,000 NSA global hacking operations which targeted powerful "network backbones".
He said one of those institutions hacked was the Chinese University of Hong Kong, home to the Hong Kong Internet Exchange, which handles nearly all the Chinese territory's domestic web traffic.
Chinese officials have acknowledged they have seen a number of cyber-attacks from the US.
In the newspaper interview, Mr Snowden also said the US government was "trying to bully" Hong Kong into expelling him before he could reveal details of the NSA's alleged surveillance on the financial hub.
"All I can do is rely on my training and hope that world governments will refuse to be bullied by the United States into persecuting people seeking political refuge," the paper quoted Mr Snowden as saying.
"Things are very difficult for me in all terms, but speaking truth to power is never without risk," he said.
"It has been difficult, but I have been glad to see the global public speak out against these sorts of systemic violations of privacy."
US officials have yet to comment on the China-related allegations.
But in an online post, Chinese Air Force Colonel Dai Xu said: "I have always said, the United States' accusations about Chinese hacking attacks have always been a case of a thief crying for another thief to be caught."

The information Snowden revealed included a secret court order directing Verizon Communications to turn over all its telephone records for a three-month period, and details about an NSA program code-named PRISM, that collected emails, chat logs and other types of data from Internet companies. These included Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Yahoo, AOL and Apple.
U.S. officials say the program is not designed to listen to telephone calls and the data they gathered has stopped several terrorist plots.
Snowden sent a written response to journalists Sunday, saying, "It is not that I do not value intelligence, but that I oppose ... omniscient, automatic, mass surveillance .... That seems to me a greater threat to the institutions of free society than missed intelligence reports, and unworthy of the costs.''

The young government contractor who leaked details of a vast, secret US program to monitor internet users, said he would be made to pay dearly for his action, the Washington Post reports.
"I understand that I will be made to suffer for my actions, and that the return of this information to the public marks my end," Edward Snowden wrote in an indirect exchange with Washington Post reporter Barton Gellman.
Snowden gave an even starker view of his possible fate in an interview published on Sunday in Britain's Guardian newspaper, saying that he feared he might be snatched by the CIA.
"Yes, I could be rendered by the CIA. I could have people come after me. Or any of the third-party partners. They work closely with a number of other nations. Or they could pay off the Triads (Chinese mafia). Any of their agents or assets," he said.
But he said in his exchanges published in the Washington Post that he hoped the intense media attention he was now getting would help keep him safe and perhaps prompt some government to offer him protection.
Nearly a month ago, as he was taking the first steps that would lead to two newspaper exposes and a massive global furore, Snowden said he was aware of, and ready for the risks he was courting.
But he said it was worth it.
"Perhaps I am naive," he wrote, "but I believe that at this point in history, the greatest danger to our freedom and way of life comes from the reasonable fear of omniscient State powers kept in check by nothing more than policy documents."
Gellman said Snowden contacted him weeks before getting in touch with British newspaper The Guardian, which ultimately published the leaked information first.
The Post reporter said Snowden had asked on May 24 that the paper publish in full, within 72 hours, a 41-slide power point presentation describing PRISM, the NSA program used to gather data trails left by targeted foreign citizens using the internet outside the United States.
But the newspaper refused, preferring to take time to consult government officials about the potential harm to national security, and ultimately publishing just four of the slides, two weeks later.
In the meantime, Snowden contacted Glenn Greenwald at the Guardian, which published its own expose a day earlier.
Under PRISM, which has been running for six years, the US National Security Agency can issue directives to internet firms demanding access to emails, online chats, pictures, files, videos and more, uploaded by foreign users
The SNOWDEN's ++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"My sole motive is to inform the public as to that which is done in their name and that which is done against them," Snowden said, in a Guardian video.
He said he had gone public because he could not "allow the US government to destroy privacy, Internet freedom and basic liberties for people around the world with this massive surveillance machine they're secretly building."
Snowden flew to Hong Kong on May 20 after copying at the NSA's office in Hawaii the documents he intended to disclose, the Guardian said.
The US consulate in Hong Kong and the Hong Kong security bureau refused to comment on the case, but a senior pro-Beijing lawmaker in Hong Kong told reporters Snowden should probably leave the city.
Hong Kong is "obliged to comply with the terms of agreements" with the US government, Regina Ip said.

Under the PRISM program, revealed by Snowden, the NSA can issue directives to Internet firms like Google or Facebook to win access to emails, online chats, pictures, files, videos and more, uploaded by foreign users.
On Monday, rights watchdog the American Civil Liberties Union filed a motion with the FISA court demanding it publish its findings as to the scope and constitutionality of its powers to trawl Internet and phone records.
"The government appears to have secretly given itself shockingly broad surveillance powers," ACLU staff attorney Alexander Abdo said.

Update ,13.6.2013.
In the course of Wednesday's hearing, committee chairwoman Dianne Feinstein revealed that phone records were only accessed by the NSA in cases where there was reason to suspect an individual was connected with al-Qaeda or Iran.
She also said the vast majority of records were never accessed and were deleted after five years.
