Beijing's Foreign Ministry confirms US reports about detention of scholar focusing on politics of neighbouring Myanmar.
Min Zin, founder of the Institute for Strategy and Policy Myanmar (ISP-M), "has been subjected to criminal compulsory measures", Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian told a news briefing.
A ministry spokesperson told a regular news conference when asked about a New York Times report that Min Zin had disappeared in Kunming in southwest China last week.
China says U.S. national U Min Zin, founder of a think tank focused on Myanmar, was detained on suspicion of "espionage and endangering China's national security."
