China is concerned over surveillance of foreign diplomats in Russia by US intelligence agencies with the use of iPhones, the Chinese Foreign Ministry told Sputnik on Friday.
Earlier this week, the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) said that it had disclosed a reconnaissance operation by US intelligence agencies.
This involves several thousand Apple gadgets, including those registered with foreign embassies in Russia.
"We have paid attention to the relevant reports, we express concern in this regard," the ministry said.
It added that the US has been using its technology for surveillance around the world for a long time.
