Speaking on a visit to Beijing, Moussa Faki Mahamat said it was not in China’s interest to spy on the AU as it did not deal with secrets or defence matters. Le Monde reported last month that technicians at the AU had discovered computers in the Chinese-built offices regularly sent information to servers in Shanghai.

Security experts also discovered hidden microphones in sensitive areas of the building. China’s foreign minister Wang Yi said the building was a symbol of Chinese-African co-operation. – BBC
