China jails Japanese national for 3.5 years for espionage, embassy says

A court in China sentenced a Japanese businessman to three-and-a-half years in prison on Wednesday for spying, Tokyo's ambassador in Beijing said. The man, an employee of the Japanese pharmaceutical company Astellas, was detained in March 2023 and placed under formal arrest in October. He was 'sentenced to three years and six months in prison for espionage activities', Kenji Kanasugi, Japanese ambassador to China, told Japanese media after the trial in Beijing. 'It is extremely regrettable that such a guilty verdict was issued,' he said. A foreign ministry spokesman in Beijing said China's judicial organs 'handle cases in strict accordance with the law'. 'As long as foreign personnel in China and coming to China abide by the law… there is nothing to be worried or anxious about,' spokesman Lin Jian told a regular news conference when asked about the Japanese businessman's case. Five Japanese nationals, including the Astellas official, are in custody or serving prison terms in China, according to Japanese public broadcaster NHK. Tokyo has repeatedly called on Beijing to release them and Wednesday's sentence deals a blow to ties, long frayed over territorial disputes, Japan's colonial history and other flashpoints. 'In light of the sentence, we have once again strongly urged the Chinese side for the early release of the Japanese national concerned in this case as well as others detained,' Tokyo's embassy in Beijing said in a statement. It also urged China 'to ensure their legitimate rights and humane treatment during detention, and to improve the transparency of the judicial process'. Beijing's foreign ministry said it would provide Japan the ability to 'perform consular duties'. The detained man had reportedly worked in China for two decades and was previously a senior executive at a major Japanese business lobby in the country. He was planning to return home before his sudden detention, according to Japan's Kyodo News Agency.

‘Actionable results', new ideas needed to boost China's consumption, No 4 official says

The Communist Party's chief theoretician has urged groups outside the party – including China's eight minor political parties , industry and commerce representatives, and public figures without party affiliation – to contribute to the discussion on how to boost domestic demand, as Beijing steps up efforts to entice the public to spend more. Improving domestic demand is a strategic priority and a necessary step towards ensuring the long-term and healthy development of China's economy, said Wang Huning, head of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and China's No 4 official, at a meeting of the political advisory body on Wednesday that was specifically dedicated to boosting demand. 'Efforts should focus on key issues related to expanding domestic demand, delivering more in-depth, detailed and practical research outcomes, and ensuring that these findings are effectively translated into actionable results,' he said. Wang also called for improvements in the quality of field research and the overall standard of policy proposals and political consultation, according to a statement published by party mouthpiece Xinhua after the meeting. The fresh comments make Wang the latest high-ranking Chinese official to join the chorus championing the need to expand domestic demand, led by President Xi Jinping Wang's remarks came just a couple of weeks before a meeting of China's cabinet, the 24-member Politburo, scheduled for the end of the month, and with analysts expecting further demand-side stimulus policies as China struggles to lift domestic consumption.
