If you really want to lose sleep at night .... consider the fact that foreign intelligence agencies likely have EMPLOYEES at top tech companies....
Spies are going to spy. I'm far more concerned about my government spying on me, then China spying on me.

I lose way more sleep thinking about the dirty deeds committed against us by our domestic intelligence agencies. I don't give 2 fucks if China gets blueprints for a defective, overpriced fighter jet that kills it's own pilots.
A company I worked for in a $hot_field had some dev servers breached from some IPs in China; they got some of our app's buggy class files and not much more. It's the kind of app you need a bunch of corporate culture to use effectively, so the jars aren't much use. Anyway, a few days later, a bunch of us in our R+D group got LI invites from Chinese recruiters out of the blue. Because of the timing and supposed motivat…

Why? That's the proven strategy to leapfrog yourself into a developed economy. It's what the US, Germany, and Japan all did.
The US, Germany, and Japan are all technology leaders. None of those nations leapfrogged into a developed nation by copying others.

We can inoculate ourselves to this threat by not caring about what politicians, government workers, and other people in general do in their private romantic lives.
I'd imagine that in the game of compromising targets, it doesn't really matter what the general public thinks of the target's behaviors or actions. The only thing that matters is that the target have a psychological profile consistent with wanting to keep their behavior or actions secret. As long as the target has the requisite characteristics with respect to ego, that target can probably be compromised if you can find something on them.

Well, a think a spouse might justifiably care in the case of cheating.
At which point that's just the cycle of karma closing the loop, no?
You misunderstand. No one cares about Alice's personal life, karma, or happiness. All they care about is manipulating Alice and what a manipulated Alice might do. Alice's desire to hide her cheating from her spouse could lead Bob's trade secrets to getting stolen. Bob did nothing wrong here to have his "cycle of karma closing the loop."
