China’s Ministry of State Security announced on Friday that a military-industrial worker had been detained for allegedly passing sensitive information to the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
State-run media reported that “compulsory measures” have been taken against the alleged spy, and the case has been turned over to the prosecutors.
