China 'Arrests High-Level US Spy' In Hong Kong - Reports -- BBC
A Chinese security ministry official has been arrested on suspicion of spying for the US and passing on state secrets, Hong Kong media reports say.
The man, who was private secretary to a vice-minister in the security ministry, was arrested earlier this year, various press reports say.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton declined to comment on the reports.
If confirmed, it would be the third major incident to hit China-US relations in the past few months.

The official had been recruited by the CIA, local press and Reuters report.
