“US spying operations penetrate every corner of China,” said a report prepared by the China Academy of Cyber Space.

The report said targets of American surveillance include the Chinese government and Chinese leaders, Chinese companies, scientific research institutes, ordinary netizens, and a large number of cell phone users.

“America’s spying operations have gone far beyond the legal rationale of “anti-terrorism” and have exposed the ugly face of its pursuit of self-interest in complete disregard for moral integrity.”

Earlier in the month, China summoned the US ambassador to Beijing over Washington’s indictment of Chinese military officers, whom the United States says were involved in economic cyber-espionage.

China’s Assistant Foreign Minister Zheng Zeguang met US Ambassador to China Max Baucus after Washington charged five Chinese army officers with hacking into American nuclear, metal and solar companies “to steal trade secrets.”

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang has said Beijing itself was a victim of “severe US cyber theft.”

Senior Chinese officials have warned the United States and its allies against stirring up troubles across the Asia-Pacific region.
