"combatant targets" are humans too, sometimes conscripted involuntarily. Killing them is also murder. You seem to be carefully defining what's right so that it allows the type of murder the US army does but not the type that other groups/countries do to the US. Really, I think the US is a danger to Chinese people and is at risk of killing them. It surely will use its intelligence to help it do that. These spies might have had some other purpose but they surely weren't purely peaceful ones.
Perhaps I should use a less sensitive example of Chinese industrial spies stealing trade secrets from American companies or stealing military secrets from the government. Do you support them too? It's not as risky and not for killing but is still spying.
