I'd very much prefer Chinese spying me over USA, as they have significantly less effect on my life.
For example, if USA found out something about me that they don't like, they might prevent me from visiting USA in the future (which is something I might want to do), or they might force U.S. companies (e.g. PayPal, Google) to close my online accounts. And they might do those things unilaterally as I'm not a U.S. citizen.
On the other hand, I wouldn't care much if China banned me from visiting or from business with their companies.
