BEIJING -- A Chinese Internet information body has complained of "unscrupulous" surveillance by U.S. intelligence agencies over the rest of the world, and called for an immediate cessation of the practice.

A report by China's Internet Media Research Center published on Monday said the U.S. has taken advantage of its political, economic, military and technological hegemony to spy without restraint on other countries, including its allies.

The 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," the report read.

It added that the spying "flagrantly infringed international laws, seriously impinged on human rights and put global cyber security under threat."

In particular, it described China as a main target of the U.S. secret surveillance.

The USA seriously embarrassed the PLA by targeting their internet guys as common criminals rather than war criminals.

I think the USA did a good thing here. Because, likely IP theft had become a business model for the PLA.
