An Oslo court has ordered the detention of a Norwegian citizen accused of attempting to spy for China, Norway’s domestic security agency said on July 2—the latest in a string of communist regime-related espionage cases across Europe in recent months.

The man, whose identity has yet to be disclosed, appeared in an Oslo court on July 2, and will be held for an initial four weeks, according to the Norwegian Security Police Service (PST).
