We park RC-135s off the coast of China, and a host of other nations. As long as you're doing it in international airspace, you can do whatever you want. Many other nations do this as well, from both the sea and the air. And don't fool yourself into thinking that VZ doesn't have its own intelligence service gathering information out there on various nations.
