China: Professor 'not mistreated'
China has denied mistreating an American university professor accused of spying before deporting him earlier this month.
Fei-Ling Wang, a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, was detained in China for two weeks on espionage charges and released on August 8, when he returned to the United States.
The United States protested at his treatment while in detention, calling it “harsh and inappropriate”, but China’s foreign ministry said the case was handled “according to law” and Chinese authorities informed US officials twice of Wang’s detention “in line with the Chinese-US consular agreement”.
