WASHINGTON - A Chinese researcher arrested in California is a military official who should be treated as a spy, denied bail and kept in jail while she awaits trial on visa fraud charges, US prosecutors said.
Her prosecution has become a flash point of tension between the US and China, which have sparred publicly by closing each other's diplomatic missions in Houston and Chengdu. A key question has been whether Tang left the consulate on her own or as the result of some agreement between the US and Chinese sides.
Tang sought shelter at the consulate in San Francisco after the agents interviewed her, according to Negin's filing. Tang was in"hysterics" after learning of the warrant for her arrest, leading consulate officials to believe she needed to see a doctor, Negin wrote.
