Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying, speaking at a regular press briefing on July 2, said she has no information concerning Snowden's asylum request to China.

"I have seen related reports, but I have no information to share," said the spokeswoman, when asked to comment on reports that Snowden has sought asylum in a number of countries including China.

Wikileaks said in a statement Tuesday that Snowden has sent asylum requests to 21 countries, including Russia, India, Austria, Bolivia, Brazil, Cuba, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Ireland, the Netherlands, Nicaragua, Norway, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, Venezuela and China.

Snowden dropped his asylum application to Russia after he learned that Russia set a condition that he should stop his anti-U.S. activity.

Finland, India, Switzerland and Norway have declined his request, while other countries haven't given clear decisions.
