China's Ministry of State Security has announced the detention of a South Korean citizen, identified as Mr. A, a former Samsung Electronics employee, on suspicion of espionage. The individual, in his 50s, moved to China in 2016 and worked at several Chinese semiconductor companies, including CXMT, before starting his own business. This marks the first arrest under China's expanded counter-espionage law. The South Korean national is accused of leaking semiconductor information. The arrest comes as China increases its vigilance against perceived threats to national security.
