China's State Internet Information Office has just published an America's Global Surveillance Record, a few days after the government’s announcement that it would increase security checks for computer hardware and services. The Record is drafted by the China Academy of Cyber Space and reveals more details of America’s cyber espionage¹ activities and their Chinese victims.

Chinese government agencies have long been the victims of eavesdropping² and wire-tapping . The Ministry³ of Foreign Affairs, no doubt, suffers the most. According to government’s record on America’s Global Surveillance, the US had planted optical fiber⁴ bugs⁵ in the walls of the offices of the Chinese embassy in Australia when it was built in 1990.

"The Foreign Ministry has been a major victim of US cyber spying...we feel very insecure in this building regarding to cyber security...emails with suspicious attachment⁶, breakdown⁷ of server in the office, difficulties in logging on internal system...the hacking⁸ of Chinese facilities is very evident." Chinese Ministry Of Foreign Affairs counselor⁹ Zhou Jingxing said.

Countermeasures have been taken to guard national information security. China has already banned new computers at the central government from using Microsoft’s latest operating system Windows 8, citing risks of being monitored and controlled remotely.

"If the confidential¹⁰ information has been stolen by other countries, it means the national security has been compromised...they’d know our thoughts and our bottom line, and have a better bargaining at the negotiation¹¹ table, that’s the scenarios¹² every country would avoid." Zhou said.

The US cyber spying operation penetrates¹³ every corner of China, says the Record. The Chinese high-tech¹⁴ telecom giant, Huawei Technologies, has been spied on since 2009. A specially¹⁵ designated NSA team copied the details of 1,400 of its customers, as well as email files, and even the source code of some products. However, in consideration of brand image and industry competition, Huawei declined our request to interview.
