Not to mention, with the NSA, the primary concern should be transparency and whether what they're doing is legal/allowed by the constitution. With China there are real national security concerns.

We can have discussions and concerns about the NSA while also recognizing foreign nations pose an equal or worse threat. At least with the NSA there is some hope of reigning them in when they overstep.

Honestly? The response to the Snowden leaks would seem to indicate the opposite.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Certainly China does face national security concerns.
