China understands strategy, spy craft and role of espionage in modern diplomatic relations. Their intent is very hard to speculate on, since they may not know it themselves. They may just want local leverage, or they may want more; its hard to say since they are definitely playing the long game.

However, if we ever falter as a nation to terrorists or our own leadership, we can call trust that the Chinese will be prepared to step into the gap, at least within the Asian region.

Are you saying the US does not understand these ideas?
