So are you saying that the US should make military threats against any ally where a Chinese-controlled firm sets up a mine, even temporarily? Or where it might have happened without being detected?

All Chinese or Russian firms should be considered, at least at first glance, as military or intelligence apparatus.

Yeah but I'm wondering whether we should make it that easy for China and Russia to ruin our relationships with our allies.

I think that is more to do with the current administrations "style" of state-craft (basically the "big stick" method)

Trump is the antithesis to "speak[ing] softly and carry[ing] a big stick" [1]. He's constantly blustering and retreating from his own lines.

The last big-stick President we had was probably Obama, though Bush and H. W. strike closer to the mark.
