中国の盗聴警戒！ 豪国防相、携帯持参せず 地元紙
2012.6.6 14:25
オーストラリアの有力紙エイジは６日付で、中国訪問中のスミス国防相が現地での盗聴行為などを警戒し、携帯電話などの持ち込みを取りやめていたと報じた。訪問には米豪同盟強化の動きに神経をとがらす中国側の懸念を和らげる目的もあったが、親善外交の裏で、中国側に対する不信感が浮き彫りになった形だ。
同紙によると、スミス氏や側近らはパソコンや携帯電話を直前に訪れた香港に残して出発。電話番号を変えた新たな携帯電話を持参し、５日に北京に到着した。

Australian defence minister off-line in China to avoid cyber spying-media
CANBERRA (Reuters) - Australia's Defence Minister Stephen Smith left his laptop and mobile phone in Hong Kong to avoid cyber espionage in mainland China where he will attend bilateral defence minister talks on Wednesday, Australian media reported.
Smith will hold an inaugural defence ministers' dialogue with his Chinese counterpart Liang Guanglie, where the two are expected to discuss China's concerns about U.S. marines being stationed in northern Australia.
The United States has accused "Chinese actors" of being the world's biggest perpetrators of economic espionage and U.S. security experts warn of a rising number of Internet-based attacks originating from China on U.S. corporate and government computers. China rejects the charges.
Concerns over cyber security was heightened last month with the discovery of the Flame virus, described as one of the most sophisticated pieces of malicious software discovered to date.
Security experts said the Flame virus was infecting computers in Iran and the Middle East and may have been deployed at least five years ago to engage in state-sponsored cyber espionage.
Before entering China, both Smith and his staff left their laptops and phones in Hong Kong to avoid potential interception, the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper reported on Wednesday.
The anti-espionage precautions, rare for Australian ministerial visits to other countries, were arranged by Australia's defence department following allegations that laptops and mobile phones were compromised during previous ministerial visits to China, the newspaper said.
A spokeswoman from Smith's office declined to comment on the report or specific arrangements for the visit.
Earlier this year, Australia blocked Huawei Technologies, a Chinese telecommunication company, from bidding on the national broadband network citing security concerns.
China is Australia's number one trading partner and the biggest customer for Australian exports. Bilateral trade is worth around A$105 billion a year with exports to China worth A$65 billion in 2010-11.
