China rejects German espionage reports as 'hype'
STORY: "The intention of this kind of hype is very obvious, that is, to discredit and suppress China and destroy the atmosphere of cooperation between China and Europe," said Wang, as he acknowledged the reports, during a regular briefing in Beijing.
Wang also called for Germany to stop engaging in "anti-China political manipulation".
Jian G., a staffer for the far-right Alternative for Germany's top candidate in the European Parliament elections in June, Maximilian Krah, stands accused of giving the Chinese intelligence service information about negotiations and decisions in the European parliament, the prosecutors said in a statement.
