The Chinese PLA is collaborating
with Pakistan's ISI to gather intelligence about Indian Army movements,
locations and training centres in the North East, and this was part of
a deal signed by General Parvez Musharraf during his visit to China in
2002.
For more than three years, China
has shown mounting interest in gathering intelligence about the army, but
despite the Musharraf deal, it did not translate into action, because China
is interested in the North East while Pakistan looks at developments on
the western border with India, but eventually, the ISI agreed to spy for
money.
Because of the delay, Chinese president
Hu Jintao had moved to organise the intelligence from means available with
China, but the then chairman of the Central Military Commission, the now-retired
Jiang Zemin, resurrected the Pakistan money-for-intelligence deal.
Diplomats said that the PLA's Military
Intelligence Department (MID) is interfacing with the ISI, with special
units Yellow R 27 and P.R.16 detailed for this, while Bangladesh and Myanmar
which China controls is providing logistics for the intelligence-gathering.
