INDONESIA'S military intelligence agency is using sophisticated Chinese surveillance equipment to target Australian officials, companies and individuals.
And Jakarta and Beijing are conducting a growing number of combined spying operations against Australia, according to well-placed sources.
Following revelations by News Corp that Australian cell phones were being bugged for between $300 and $1000 by companies directly linked with the Indonesian military, it can be revealed that information intercepted by the phone taps is distributed to military authorities in China via Indonesia's military intelligence agency Badan Inteligen Strategis (BAIS).
The spying scandal that has strained relations between Canberra and Jakarta has also exposed the massive spying effort by Indonesian spooks against thousands of Australians working in their country.
An intelligence source told News Corp that the Indonesia-China relationship was very close and the Chinese were very interested in using that relationship to spy on Australia and other western nations with interests in Indonesia.
"There is a clearly coordinated attempt by China and Indonesia to squeeze what they can out of us," the source said.
It is understood that the offer was made during a state visit to Beijing in March by Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.
