In a recent espionage case in Europe, a Norwegian man was arrested by Norwegian police for allegedly engaging in espionage activities on behalf of Beijing. The man, whose identity has not been disclosed, was apprehended upon returning to Norway from China. The Norwegian Police Security Service (PST) announced that the suspect was involved in spying activities 'likely beneficial to China.' This incident is part of a series of spy cases involving individuals linked to China in European countries. The Chinese Embassy and Foreign Ministry have not responded to inquiries regarding this case.
