A Chinese court has sentenced a 78-year-old US citizen to life in prison on spying charges.
John Shing-Wan Leung, who is a permanent resident in Hong Kong, was jailed on Monday. The court in the south-eastern city of Suzhou gave no further details of the allegations against him.
Leung was arrested in the city two years ago by a local bureau of China’s counterintelligence agency, a news release from the court said.
