There is a Japanese woman who is being
detained by China on suspicions of espionage. China has detained
another three Japanese citizens. They've also held an American on the
same grounds. It is unclear how true these allegations are. If they
are true then Japan has caught a particularly bad break in getting
caught when you consider the rising tension in the South China Sea.
Right now Japan is one of the biggest obstacles to local hegemony for
China so it will be interesting to see how accusations of spying
affect Japan's relationship with nearby countries.
I just have to say though that China's
outrage over spying seems a little hypocritical in consideration of
it's state backed online spying.
