A Hong Kong-based British citizen has been sentenced to life in prison by a Chinese court on spying charges, a newspaper reported yesterday.

Chinese officials haven't disclosed details of the case against Chan Yu-lam, a former employee of the Hong Kong bureau of China's official Xinhua News Agency. The bureau acted as China's consulate in the former British colony before it returned to Chinese rule in 1997.
