Xue Feng, an American “geologist” born in China, has been sentenced by a Chinese court to an 8 year prison term.
The American spy was charged with illegally obtaining state secrets related to the oil industry.
The odds of Xue Feng being found innocent were not good. In Chinese criminal court proceedings from 1998-2006, the national rate of a guilty conviction in first time criminal cases was 99%.
