China has sentenced a 78-year-old U.S. citizen to life in prison for espionage, a court said, but revealed few details about the previously unreported case.
U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan and top Chinese diplomat Wang Yi held eight hours of talks in Vienna in an apparent breakthrough last week, with both sides describing the meeting as"candid, substantive and constructive".
The U.S. State Department said in its statement its diplomats had been barred from attending the trial in southern China. U.S. President Joe Biden is due to head to Hiroshima for a meeting of leaders of the G7 group of major developed economies.Other high-profile espionage cases in recent years include the arrest in 2019 of Chinese-born Australian writer Yang Jun.
