It’s ironic. China just did it first. I can’t call something wrong and then to the same.

If, for instance, we call out China for surveillance of their citizens and then start doing the same, isn‘t that ironic?

I can, if someone assaults me I'm either running away or swinging back. We gave them access to our markets, they didn't give us access to theirs. What this is is just "playing even".

This is not the same as surveillance, that's internal affairs. This is external affairs.
