China holds U.S. citizen accused of spying for Taiwan
Fri Aug 19, 2005 11:24 AM IST

BEIJING (Reuters) - China has detained a U.S. citizen on suspicion of
spying for ideological foe Taiwan, keeping him under house arrest
without charge for nearly three months, the U.S. embassy in Beijing
said on Friday.

Chinese-born Xie Chunren was arrested in the southwestern province of
Sichuan on May 31 after he travelled there from the United States,
the embassy spokeswoman said.

"He is currently under residential surveillance under suspicion of
espionage for Taiwan," she said.

The charges have come to light just weeks before Chinese President
Hu Jintao makes his first trip to Washington as leader, adding new
frictions to ties already strained over issues from China's military
buildup to textile trade.
