What could possibly have given China’s President Xi Jinping the impression that eavesdropping might be a problem at this weekend’s retreat with President Obama?

The two heads of state are meeting at the luxurious, 200-acre Sunnylands estate in Rancho Mirage, Calif., this weekend to discuss cyber crime, among other issues, but Xi reportedly won’t be sleeping there.
