or she could be trying to use Finch to get further access.

That's what I'm thinking. What I'm hoping is Root getting a bit of a backstory, that is either also tied to the machine in some way or just something bigger than sociopathic greed. I found her to be an engaging villain in this episode but I always enjoy my main villains more when their motives are rooted in some passion, hate, love, vengeance etc.

The Chinese seem to be in possession of one

That is something I wasn't too clear about in the ep that flashed back to John's last CIA mission. Were the Chinese truly building their own machine, independetly of the US? Was it maybe a joint project? Did they steal the tech?

Also, to be truly effective for the purposes they wanted it build for, the machine needs to work globally. Which is actually what I believed it was when the show started, a global monitoring network. Only some time down the line did I put that assumption to question.
