Norway says arrests suspect over attempted spying for China

Norway’s security service on Tuesday said it arrested a Norwegian man suspected of trying to spy on behalf of China.

An Oslo court placed him in four-week pre-trial detention with a ban on communicating with the outside, and with the first two weeks to be spent in isolation. “We are in a preliminary and extremely sensitive phase,” Blom told reporters as he left the Oslo court.In an email to AFP, the Chinese embassy in Oslo said some Norwegian agencies had made “irresponsible accusations” and “propagated the ‘China threat'”.

In their annual evaluation of the risks facing Norway, the country’s security services said China and Russia were the two major threats in terms of espionage.
