China Says Wells Fargo Banker ‘Involved' in Criminal Case
China said the case of a Wells Fargo & Co. banker blocked from leaving the country was related to a criminal matter, escalating an episode that already underscored multinationals' fears about the risks of operating in the nation.
'Ms. Mao Chenyue is involved in a criminal case currently being handled by Chinese law-enforcement authorities and is subject to exit restrictions in accordance with the law,' Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said at a regular press briefing in Beijing on Monday, adding that it was 'an individual judicial case.'
