The Hong Kong newspaper reported that he admitted it. That doesn't necessarily mean he did actually admit it. I've seen our own media twist people's words to say what they want and I know China's would also.
No, neither China or Russia would admit to receiving the classified information from Snowden. I agree.
Russia and China have an agenda for sure. This guy showed that the US does the same thing China and Russia do (kinda sorta). The US tends to act as though they would never censor or monitor the way the other countries do. This hurts their credibility. He's applying to several countries (Iceland and Ecquador) for asylum.
I'm not basing judgment on one quote that supposedly came from him printed in a Hong Kong newspaper. If he does, in fact, release more information publicly that I think is actually harmful to our national security, then I will make a judgment. He hasn't been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt to me.
