The incident appeared to be the first time in more than 30 years that the US has expelled Chinese diplomats on suspicion of espionage.

China on Monday called the expulsion of diplomats from the US a"mistake" following reports that Washington quietly expelled two embassy officials in September after they drove onto a sensitive military base in Virginia.

Beijing has lodged"solemn representations and protests to the US", said Geng, who called for Washington to"protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese diplomats". Foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said the move was a"countermeasure" to Washington's decision in October to restrict Chinese diplomats.
