Germanys ambassador to Beijing, Patricia Flor, has been summoned to Chinas Foreign Ministry following the arrest of several suspected Chinese spies.
Writing on her X handle, Flor said she was summoned after four Germans were arrested this week for allegedly spying for Chinese secret services.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman, Wang Wenbin confirmed the summons, saying China denies any involvement and is calling on the German government to refrain from damaging bilateral ties, adding that the allegations were completely without foundation.
Flor said she used the summons as an opportunity to remind Chinas government that Germany will protect its democracy and that any investigation would be carried out without political inference.
We do not tolerate espionage in Germany, regardless of which country it comes from, the ambassador added.
