A British businessperson was sentenced to five years in prison in 2022 on espionage charges in China, according to Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin.
Both the United Kingdom and United States governments have warned about the risk of detention under China's national security laws. A Japanese pharmaceutical company employee was detained last year on suspicion of spying. A new version of the law that took effect July 1, 2023, has heightened concerns about operating in China.
