Chinese officials have officially acknowledged the detention of an American citizen on Friday, confirming that U Min Zin faces allegations of espionage and posing threats to the nation’s security.
A ministry spokesperson, Lin Jian, revealed during a routine press briefing that Chinese authorities have informed the U.S. consulate general located in Guangzhou about the detention. This confirmation came in response to inquiries regarding a New York Times report indicating that Min Zin had vanished in Kunming, located in southwestern China, during the previous week.
