I certainly don't like the idea of having the US broadly spy on citizens, but having China also spying on US companies and infrastructure isn't just "equally bad" in terms of privacy loss.
It adds a whole new realm of enemy espionage that is an additional economic and potentially military/political threat on top.
Also, "irony" relates to an unexpected and often comical outcome, not two things occurring at the same time with some false equivalency wrapped around them.
So what about non-US citizens who are also being spied on by the US and can be prosecuted in the US under US law?
China, US what's the difference?
Superpowers thinking they have the right to control the world.

A: Because Foxconn is a Taiwanese company using PRC labor to build Apple products.
Not to mention Taiwanese look down on their 'dailou' (Mainland) cousins.

As inane as it might be, this.
