> A former assistant to a German far-right lawmaker was sentenced to jail for spying on behalf of China, casting light on Beijing’s espionage efforts in Europe as the relationship between the two deteriorates.
>A court in Dresden on Tuesday condemned the man, a Chinese-born German national identified as Jian G., to four years and nine months in jail for aggravated spying. An accomplice was handed a suspended sentence.
> The court found that Jian G. had been working for a Chinese intelligence agency since at least 2007. As a spy, he had identified and monitored regime dissidents in Europe, putting them at physical risk, a spokeswoman for the court said.
