BEIJING – A Chinese court sentenced a Japanese citizen to prison for espionage, Nippon TV reported, citing an unidentified Japanese government official, in a verdict that threatens to damage ties between Asia’s two largest economies.
The Nikkei newspaper said the jail term was 3½ years.
The convicted man, an executive of Japanese drugmaker Astellas Pharma, was detained in March 2023 and charged with espionage in October of that year.
