A court in Beijing on Wednesday sentenced a Japanese businessperson to three years and six months in prison for being involved in espionage, APA reports citing NHK.
He has been detained in the country for more than two years.
The man in his 60s worked in China for many years as an employee of major Japanese drug maker Astellas Pharma.
He was detained by Chinese security authorities for alleged involvement in spying in March 2023, shortly before his company was to send him to Japan. He was later indicted.
