- China sentenced a 78-year-old US citizen to life in prison Monday on spying charges.
- John Shing-Wan Leung, who holds permanent residency in Hong Kong, was detained April 15, 2021, by the counterintelligence agency in the southeastern city of Suzhou.
- The city’s intermediate court announced Leung’s sentence in a brief statement on its social media site but gave no details of the charges.
With US - China relations not warm at present this does not auger well.
