In this discussion of 19 comments, I count around 5, more than 25%, that say some variation of 'everyone else does it too', but never with any support for the claim. It's generally true of any discussion mentioning China, though I don't have the precise numbers. The marginal value of these comments was low, lacking any support, and is greatly diminishing with use.
Because it's well known and established.

That every major nation spies on each other is obvious.
Why do you think every major nation has a spy agency?

It's not everyone's fault you don't know the basics. What are you whining about? That you are ignorant of what government and spy agencies do?
If people said all governments pass laws are you whine about how people don't provide evidence of it?
