China accuses American of spying for Taiwan
A Chinese-born U.S. citizen, Dong Wei, detained in Guangzhou since last September faces espionage charges tied to Taiwan. Reports say he accepted 3000 dollars monthly from Taiwan's security agencies to gather information on Chinese activities and attitudes in the United States, and he allegedly funded a St John’s University foundation to recruit future spies. The case highlights Beijing’s long stand‑off with Taiwan and involves consular access and official denials from Beijing and Taipei.
