>Bear in mind the US and China are currently engaged in an espionage war[1].

But US has spies in all countries, so why is in China an espionage war?

Any idea if US wants a concrete thing? Like if China does X all is fine or is just an economic war and US is trying to weaken China and fix the trading balance ?

Because there are casualties. Dozens of CIA contacts in China have disappeared and a handful of US citizens and even CIA employees have been convicted of spying for China.
I mean if China found some traitors and detained or execute them why is this an espionage war? I am not convinced that this is related with the Huawei sanctions, it must be some economic or political strategy but I don't know what and why now and why with such a pathetic of excuse.
