China Rejects US "Wrongful Detention" Label for Analyst Min Zin Weeks Before Xi's White House Visit

China rejected Washington's designation of Myanmar analyst Min Zin as wrongfully detained, calling the US citizen a suspected spy. Min Zin was arrested June 3, 2026, at a Yunnan airport — after China's government invited him to a conference. The clash lands five weeks before President Xi Jinping's planned September 24 White House visit, testing a summit both sides have invested in.
