China arrests fourth Japanese over spying, government confirms

The government denied Monday that Japan carries out espionage activities abroad as it announced that Chinese authorities have formally arrested a fourth Japanese citizen on suspicion of spying.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga, the top government spokesman, said China informed Japan last month that a fourth Japanese, who is from Hokkaido, had been formally arrested after being detained in Beijing in June.

“Japan does not engage in spying activities in any country,” Suga told reporters. “The government is preparing to support (those citizens) properly through diplomatic offices overseas.”

Few details have been released officially about the detained Japanese. Suga previously announced that three are men and one is a woman. The woman is from Tokyo and two other men come from Kanagawa Prefecture and Aichi Prefecture.

All were apprehended last year, with news of the formal arrests coming in stages.

The arrests of the Japanese came after China in 2014 detained a Canadian missionary couple for alleged espionage.

China said Friday that it has charged one of the Canadians with spying and stealing state secrets.

Last month Swedish activist Peter Dahlin was held on suspicion of endangering national security, apparently caught up in a crackdown on human rights lawyers.

He was deported last week.

China passed a new “national security” law in July that was criticized by rights groups for the vague wording of its references to “security.” This raised fears it could give police wide-ranging discretionary powers over civil society.

China and Japan have been taking steps for more than a year to improve relations that remain plagued by tensions over the legacy of World War II as well as the Senkaku Islands dispute.

Ties, however, remain shaky and the Chinese allegations of spying by Japanese nationals have become a new irritant.

China arrests two more Japanese nationals on espionage charges – report

Two more Japanese nationals have been detained in China on suspicion of spying, bringing the number of Japanese held by Chinese authorities for espionage to four, news reports said on Sunday.

A Japanese woman in her 50s has been held in Shanghai since June for her alleged involvement in spying on the country, the Mainichi Shimbun daily said.

The woman, who runs a Japanese language school in Tokyo, had visited China frequently, Kyodo News said, adding that the purpose of her visits was unknown.

Separately, another Japanese national in his 60s has been detained in Beijing on similar charges, the Mainichi said.

China reported, in late September, it had arrested two Japanese citizens for suspected spying, a move likely to strain already tense ties between Asia’s two largest economies.

The detentions – the first since 2010 involving Japanese nationals on such charges – come as relations remain clouded by disputes over islands and Tokyo’s wartime history, despite close trade links.

Commenting on the recent confirmation by the Japanese authorities of the arrest of one of its nationals in China over spying allegations, one Russian political scientist told Sputnik that he does not rule out the man was actually being on a “spying mission,” however the move might also be a part of the political game between the two countries.

Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Denies That Man Arrested in China Was Spying
The Japanese government confirmed on Thursday that earlier this month a Japanese man was detained in Beijing by Chinese authorities on spying allegations.

However it denied that the man, who has not been named, may have actually been a spy.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said that Japan “is not engaged in such activities toward any country.”

The Head of the Sino-Japanese exchange organization was due to stay in Beijing from July 11-15, but failed to return to Japan and has not been answering his mobile phone since that time.

“The man, in his late 50s, comes from Ibaraki Prefecture and has a history of involvement with the Social Democratic Party, a minor opposition party,” South China Morning Post quotes its sources close to the Japanese government as saying.

The government is assisting the man through its embassy in Beijing, and working to confirm the circumstances of his detention, said Yoshihide Suga.

Three Japanese nationals are currently in detainment in China on suspicions of espionage, the NHK television channel reported Wednesday.

The newspaper also refers to a written reply from the Japanese embassy in Beijing where it “only confirms that a Japanese citizen had been taken away.”

“This month, we received a notice from the Chinese side that a Japanese citizen had been taken into custody by the Chinese authorities,” the notice says.

Commenting to Sputnik on the above developments, Professor of Political Science at Moscow State University and a member of the scientific advisory board to the Security Council of Russia, Andrei Manoilo suggested that the man in fact could have been on a “spying mission.”

“Similar channels are being used by the intelligence of various countries,” he said.

“If it really is the case, then his task was neither meeting with agents nor any secret information exchange. Such people are tasked with studying political elites of a certain country and specific public officials holding different positions,” the political scientist explained.

He further said that usually there is already a certain profile compiled on the person of interest and an experienced intelligence officer will only need a couple of personal meetings with the man to be able to draw his full psychological portrait.

Manoilo also noted that China is currently engaged in a war on corruption and any compromising material on any public servant can be used as a tool for recruitment.

However, the political scientist added, such incidents are always intertwined into the context of the political game between the parties.

Thus it can’t be ruled out, he says, that the actions of the Chinese authorities could be connected with the territorial dispute between the two countries.

Amid aggravation of the relationship between the two, or upon a need for artificial aggravation, one of the parties usually detains a representative of the counter-party over the suspicion of spying, which might be then followed by deportation, PR-effects or leaking of information of unlawful activities to mass media.

And this is a very effective tool of pressuring the counter-party.

For example, Manoilo suggests, the two countries are involved in certain joint activities and pursue certain principles, values, which are based on a certain mutual understanding and set of common contacts. In this case, detaining a spy gives one of the parties the chance to accuse the other one of deceiving its partner.

Such accusations might have very serious consequences for the development of bilateral relations, he concluded.
