White House Voices Concerns About China Cyber Law (reuters.com)

The White House said on Thursday that it raised concerns about China's new cyber security law during a meeting with a Chinese official after the latest round of talks between the two countries on cyber crime. From a report on Reuters: U.S. National Security Adviser Susan Rice met with Chinese State Councilor Guo Shengkun to discuss the importance "of fully adhering" to an anti-hacking accord signed last year between the China and the United States, National Security Council spokesman Ned Price said. The deal, brokered during Chinese President Xi Jinping's state visit to Washington in 2015, included a pledge that neither country would knowingly carry out hacking for commercial advantages. Rice told Guo that the United States was concerned "about the potential impacts" of a law that China adopted in November aimed at combating hacking and terrorism.

... that neither country would knowingly carry out hacking for commercial advantages.

So doing it for political or military advantages is fine?

No, the keyword here was knowingly,
but you probably didn't manage to catch it over the noise of NSA and MSS both laughing their asses out together.
