To the positive spin for China, they tend to target only their fellow citizens and have some internal coherency and moral. NSO is an Israeli national problem that sells the spying capabilities to the highest bidding crook dictator around the world.

This is a terribly disturbing comment to me, who cares that they "tend to only target their citizens?"

If I had to choose, I'd go with China, at least they believe in something.

NSO looms like modern version of mercenaries, selling 'raid and pillage as a service'. It's like spanish conquistadors, kill and steal anything law does not protect.
