Good. This is basic spy-work within the remit of all legitimate intelligence agencies. When talking about oversteps and outrages it is more appropriate to describe the weaponization of these agencies against domestic elements of dissent and opposition to current regime policies as well as widespread spying on their own populations and those of other nations of no real intelligence value. In other words the overstepping west which spies on everyone, intrudes on everyone is much worse than the respectful, decent Chinese and Russians who classically focus their efforts on targeting fair game fellow intelligence agencies not for the purposes of offense but for the purposes of self-defense.
