中国进行大规模国际监听
华时:各地监听站Google Earth卫星照清晰可见
华盛顿时报18日引述五角大厦官员的谈话,表示中国正透过连串地面监听站,进行规模庞大的国际电子监听活动。这些监听站有许多设在中国西部地区,有些从Google Earth网站提供的清晰卫星照片就可以看到。
这些官员说,中国军方和政府情报部门,在中国西部地区设有一些重要设施,经常集透过卫星传送的电脑网路电子信息,包括成千上万的电子邮件。
这些电讯情报站利用庞大的碟形天线截收资料,并用从美国公司获得的高速电脑和商业软体加以过滤。监听人员只要输入关键词汇,就能够为他们的军事和商业计画获得珍贵情报。
中国解放军总参谋部叁部12局属下的张掖监听站正在扩建,增加新的卫星碟。这处设施也负责侦听外国卫星,并可能是中国反卫星计画的一部分。
新疆的疏勒和喀什也有重要的电子监听设施。情报官员说,1991年美国向伊拉克发动地面战争前五天,喀什监听站就藉着截收沙乌地阿拉伯的军事通讯,预测美国即将开战。
Talent-Keyhole网站影像分析家布朗(Tim Brown)说,中国的监听站集到从欧洲传送到亚洲的庞大资讯。他说,他们有足够能力选择性的针对非常明确的目标集资料,而且这些资料对经济情报和分析军事通讯连络都非常有用。

China eavesdropping
Pentagon officials tell us China is engaged in massive electronic eavesdropping through a series of ground stations, many in western China. Some stations can now be viewed without a security clearance for the first time from high-resolution satellite photographs recently made available on Google Earth.
The officials said Chinese military and civilian intelligence units operate several key facilities in western China that are collecting hundreds of thousands of e-mails, among other electronic signals, that transit cyberspace through satellites. Using large dish antennas, the signals intelligence sites take the data and filter it using high-speed computers and commercial software obtained from U.S. companies.
By putting in key words, the Chinese eavesdroppers can gain valuable intelligence for both their military and commercial programs, the officials said.
One facility is located near Changi in northwestern China, which we first identified in this column in 2000 as it was being expanded with the addition of new satellite dishes. The Changi listening post is operated by the military intelligence unit known as the 3rd Department, 12th Bureau. It spies on foreign satellites and is thought to be part of China's anti-satellite program. A second major facility is located at Shule.
A third Chinese electronic spying facility at Kashi was able to predict the start of the U.S. ground war in Iraq in 1991 five days before it began by intercepting Saudi Arabian military communications, intelligence officials said.
Tim Brown, an imagery analyst with Talent-Keyhole.com, said the Chinese eavesdropping sites gather vast amounts of data transiting from Europe to Asia.
"They've got enough of a capability to selectively scoop up on a very narrow set of targets," Mr. Brown said, noting that the in????ation is useful for economic espionage as well as military communications traffic analysis.
