Chinese court jails Japanese executive for 3.5 years in spying case
Find out what's new on ST website and app. BEIJING – A Chinese court sentenced a Japanese citizen to a prison term 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. The sentence threatens to further strain already tense relations between the two countries, which have been hurt by a range of issues, from Chinese military manoeuvres to Japan's release of treated nuclear wastewater into the ocean. Tokyo had sought the man's release, but Beijing has stood its ground citing the country's national security. 'This is extremely regrettable. We will continue to call for the release of the man at the earliest and support him,' Japanese Ambassador to China Kenji Kanasugi told reporters, as cited by Kyodo News. The case has alarmed executives in China. Japanese companies are not the only ones whose employees have been taken into custody. An executive and two former employees of WPP, one of the world's biggest advertising companies, were arrested in China in 2023 in relation to a bribery investigation. Top stories Swipe. Select.
