China on Monday (Jul 27) said it was not aware of the case involving Singaporean Dickson Yeo and urged the United States to "stop using the so-called espionage issue to smear" the country.
Yeo pleaded guilty last week in the US to working for Chinese intelligence. The former National University of Singapore (NUS) PhD student said he was recruited by Chinese intelligence operatives in Beijing and helped to collect sensitive information about the US military and government.
When asked about the case at a regular press briefing, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said that it was "open knowledge" that the US conducts espionage activities.
