China 'arrests high-level US spy' in Hong Kong - reports

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.

I'm not surprised, I guess this happens quite often. Maybe the Chinese will exchange him for one of their own.
