I'm much more concerned about the West's 'epic scale' of espionage of its citizens.

I am concerned with both. No reason to pick one of the two.

It's almost comedic: domestic spy wearing Five-Eyes badge warns us we're being spied on!

>"Authoritarian states are laser-focused on the opportunities that these technologies represent."

They're trying to say this a reason China is bad, that sentence definitely applies to the UK at the moment.

The NPSA.gov.uk "Secure Innovation" advice amounts to very little; "make sure your systems are secure". That's about all you get.

From the detail it sounds like the Chinese "attack" could be 2 companies emailing 20,000 people asking if they want to work in AI with them ... it might be much worse, but based on the details given there's little substantiated.

Presumably the next step will be 'we need access to all businesses computer systems to check they're secure from spying'?
