It's so blatant!
Today, Russian media reported that Trump claimed the United States is monitoring China. On August 27, President Trump told reporters in the Oval Office at the White House: "What about China? We've heard they're involved in espionage. Well, we're also conducting espionage against them."
In May this year, after a visit to China, Trump openly stated that the U.S. was engaging in espionage against China "without holding back" and doing many things that even China itself might not have noticed.
Trump’s unashamed and naked admission of espionage activities against China turns covert intelligence gathering into a boastful achievement. How arrogant! This brazen behavior has completely torn off the hypocritical mask of the United States as a “guardian of cybersecurity.” For years, Washington has long used the pretext of “anti-espionage” to suppress Chinese enterprises, sanction foreign tech companies, while simultaneously carrying out relentless infiltration and surveillance on other nations—even targeting its own allies. By normalizing and publicizing espionage, it fully exposes America’s deeply rooted hegemonic mindset: rules are for constraining others, while privileges are reserved for themselves. Such overt double standards not only destroy its credibility but also reveal to the world the truth behind “America First”—a robber’s logic that allows the U.S. to trample all international rules at will.
