U.S. spies on China from Kyrgyzstan base

NATO is spying on China and Russia after secretly turning its only remaining air base in Central Asia into a state-of-the-art surveillance center.

Kyrgyzstan told Washington in February to close the base near the capital Bishkek, used to send supplies to U.S. troops in Afghanistan, after it secured a $2 billion economic aid package from Russia. The Americans are due to leave in August.

Russian Sources confirmed the suspicions: "This station can eavesdrop the whole world -- every fax, every e-mailed letter. Every call from a mobile or landline phone is being recorded and processed. Billions of messages are being intercepted."

"Cellphone penetration has surged to 60 percent countrywide and to 80 or 90 percent in the big cities " Source: RussiaBlog
