Australia, UK, New Zealand, Canada, and the US are all part of the 5-eyes, which have a broad agreement on sharing intelligence. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes

While they may not share information with say - China - they will share it with one of the other eyes, who could also lend a helping hand in domestic spying.
