That's because after all the headlines about the Chinese doing this, nobody cares about that any more. But the U.S. made such a brouhaha about the Chinese doing it that when it turns out they were doing the same - but to a far greater scale, it turns out that there's one rule for the U.S. (which is "the rules don't apply to us"), and one rule for everyone else (which is "the rules still apply to all you lot, because it's our playground, and we make the rules").

Besides, this will blow over just as quickly as it blew up just like everything else did/does in the U.S. - the president will do something dumb that everyone can get up in arms about, like cheating on his wife with a pretty white intern who strips on the side to "pay her way through college" and all will be forgotten while the bible belt attempts to sacrifice him on the alter of Republicanism. Why? Because the U.S. loves their witch hunt... as long as they're huntin' witches, they're happy. The problem is, when they run out of witches to hunt, what are they going to do with themselves?

Meanwhile, I'll sit back and roll my eyes because history has shown us that the U.S. is just that predictable.

Indeed, "According to the documents leaked by Edward Snowden, on one occasion when the Americans were breaking into UN communications, they discovered the Chinese had tried to do the same."

Guess it was not only an "attempt", they probably succeeded, they are rather skilled.

I wonder what two spies talk about when they stumble upon each other ? "Oh Hello, you're already there ? Am I late ? What did they say until now ?"
