The U.S. administration has also warned China not to aid Iran’s military effort. But earlier this week, Trump downplayed a Wall Street Journal report that Chinese entities had supplied Tehran with satellite images of a Jordanian military base ahead of an Iran strike in July that killed three U.S. soldiers working there.

“You know, when they say that China spies on us, I say you’re right, and we spy on them too,” Trump told reporters. 

My comment in return would be, Our spying has not directly or indirectly killed any Chinese Troops.
