Wow that article really tries to force a viewpoint on you.
Yes foreign powers spy on each other.
USA spied on German ministers. And probably spies as we speak on UK ones.
Does that mean we should end all relations? No.
Just know that every country looks after it self first.

You would be shocked to know then that the US and UK (and other countries) also do these things.

And the UK’s response is to allow them to open an even larger embassy
