Doesn't hurt to proactively appease the next leader of the US. Especially an ornery one looking to settle some scores.

I don't think it's a coincidence that this news broke a day after trump's election.

He waited a year after receiving the intel? He is being roasted for foriegn interference at the moment? He is about to call an election? Salt Typhoon just broke? And Trump is about to light things up on the Foriegn Affairs file?

I actually have no idea either.
