Russia Reveals Arrest Of Chinese Man For Espionage -- BBC
A Chinese man faces a charge in Russia of attempted spying for allegedly trying to gain details of a missile system through bribery.
The man, identified as Tun Sheniyun, was arrested in Moscow on 28 October last year but his arrest was kept secret until now.
He allegedly sought technological and repair documentation on the Soviet-era S300 surface-to-air system.
The case surprised analysts, as Russia has already sold the system to China.
Mr Tun is thought to have been acting on the instructions of the Chinese state security ministry, Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) said.
Formally, he worked as an interpreter for official delegations, it added.
There was no immediate reaction to news from Chinese officials.
