You seem to have rose colored glasses on, in thinking the west does not do things to sabotage others.

1. Stuxnet was active sabotage.

2. Some Chinese antivirus company, Qihoo360, found signatures of computer viruses in China, that matched CIA field programs. Then, the company got placed on the Entity List. Go figure.

3. All the recent propaganda against Huawei seems to be very sabotage oriented. There was evidence that the United States had already stolen Huawei source code, and actively developed tools to hack it. But, whenever someone brings this up, the justification, is that it’s perfectly legal for the United States to do it to others, because it’s enshrined in our laws, but somehow, it’s not ok for others to do it to the United States. Go figure.

1. Maybe. I thought it was Israeli but maybe.

2. Provide a reference for this (and other) claims please.

3. "All the recent propaganda against Huawei seems to be very sabotage oriented" That might be economic warfare but I wouldn't call it sabotage.

> There was evidence that the United States had already stolen Huawei source code

yeah, yeah, back it up please. Don't throw out claims.

Show me someone in the US government saying that.
