BEIJING -- A Japanese man arrested in China on charges of spying has finished his six-year prison sentence and returned to Japan on Tuesday.
Eiji Suzuki, a former head of the Japan-China youth exchange association, had been involved in bilateral exchanges since the early 1980s. He was arrested in 2016 on charges that he was involved in espionage.
"The ruling was completely unfounded," Suzuki told The Yomiuri Shimbun in a telephone interview Wednesday.
