    Surprising they didn't just go straight to the point and claim this is retaliation for the arrests over the "secret police stations" narrative.

      States know of other states operatives and they usually have some sort of mutual agreement and often share intel as Russia did with us on the Boston Bombers.

      This is just a checklist of we're no longer on talking terms. As much as China operates in good faith, I don't think the DC establishment is willing to back off the death spiral.

      China should just dump the entirety of US treasury bonds it holds.

          Their spies are bad and evil and they're everywhere. Our spies doesn't exist at all and even though they do exist they're there to keep us safe.

          It's only bad when the designated enemy does it. The :anglo-burn: s have an agreement called "Five Eyes" where all the :anti-cracker-aktion: countries share intelligence with each other. But it's not just foreign intelligence; each country spies on the citizens of other countries then shares the data with the government of that country to circumvent "don't spy on the citizens of your own country" laws.
