China bashing aside how likely is the us engaging in tech espionage of foreign countries? Are there any merit in the statement below? (Serious replies only)
“Measures are believed to be aimed at eliminating perceived national security risks from telecoms devices made by a US company”
That's the new way countries are spying on each other. China and the states are both doing it a lot.
100% real and there's no question about it.

It’s been documented already. I guess the next question is if there’s any reason to think it’s stopped.
Update: I guess not. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/13/us/politics/us-spying-allies.html
Not sure what tech espionage means. Espionage - yes they are engaging in it and always have. Everyone is. If it means espionage using modern technology, also yes. Tapping underwater cables, collection of unencrypted data, you name it. Snowden lives in exile because we know about it.
