Anti-China narrative

American national security takes priority in this brazen espionage incident. Beijing's long game exploits access inside the United States, making aggressive counterintelligence and prosecution the strongest response. Beijing has been caught red-handed.

Pro-China narrative

It's the United States that has all too often undertaken brazen and inappropriate espionage actions against China. Washington should cease these activities immediately. While the recent Xi-Trump summit didn't solve all issues between the two nations, it was a vital step forward, and that's where the focus should be.
