China rejects US claim that Myanmar analyst wrongfully detained

Min Zin was arrested on June 3 after the Chinese government invited him to attend a conference. China has denied a claim by Washington that it has wrongfully detained a United States citizen.

Rejecting the US designation on Friday, China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs insisted that Myanmar scholar Min Zin, who has been detained since early June, is a danger to national security. The disagreement adds to the obstacles that Beijing and Washington seek to move past in order to improve relations.
