The NSA sends agents to [ install spy devices in networks in various countries ]( https://firstlook.org/theintercept/?p=6622 ) , including apparently the US. For the US government to do this to a rather hostile government such as China does not seem wrong to me. Doing this to Germany and South Korea would be a low blow against an ally if it was done without those states' approval (we don't know). If those states approved of the act, it might mean that they are spying massively on their own citizens.
