You are normalizing CPC actions by stating that the US does it or would do it in the CPC’s position.

It’s normal in that every country would do it given half the chance. That doesn’t make it okay, and it doesn’t mean that countries on the other end should roll over and take it. I’m just saying we shouldn’t sit here gobsmacked that it’s happening. We should assume it’s happening at all times and beef up defenses precisely because it is so normal.
The US absolutely does it, has done it and will do it again. That doesn’t mean chinas not defending themselves against it.
When you're top dog, your job is largely counter-intelligence.

Hold on, at what point did I suggest it shouldn't be combatted - or that it was okay? I'm saying we should expect them to try and do so. I absolutely think the US should fight back. That's the game.
