The German Federal Prosecutor’s office on Monday said three German nationals were arrested under the strong suspicion of having worked for Chinese secret service.
Prosecutors believe the three may have been involved in research projects that could be useful for China to expand its maritime power.

Just saw this other article about the UK arresting two alleged spies for China. Wonder if the German and UK investigations were a joint op. And if we’ll soon hear about other countries arrests of others for working with Chinese intelligence.
