Re: The Chinese aren't spying...
One upvote for this, and deserving of more.
Both sentences are quite correct. What is left out is that the US and most other countries collect and analyze intelligence data, part of it gotten through espionage, for exactly the same reasons: to find out the truth, and because they will not get it from their foreign counterparts. It has been so for as long as we have any recorded history and probably longer, and will continue to be so as far as we can see into the future.
