This is plain superpower jealousy and hypocrisy. Really. What are they expecting? Of course theres a chance the chinese or any other nation will try to commit espionage as covert as possible using electronic, physical and Social means. What this "loserpower" Uncle Sam doesn't want to face is itself. Some of its tech companies involved in search, silicon chips, social, etc., are full of security holes, lies and fake news. Law enforcement and national security departments and Agencies routinely request global user data from their tech collaborators - aside from eavesdropping.
