Japanese Diplomat Killed Self Due To Blackmail By Chinese
A spokesman for Japan's Foreign Ministry says the man died due to "regrettable acts" by China:
A Japanese diplomat who committed suicide in May 2004 was being blackmailed to provide key intelligence to China, Japanese media reports say.
The unnamed engineer, in charge of communications for Japan's Shanghai consulate, left suicide notes saying he had been threatened by a Chinese man.
The threats concerned his relationship with a karaoke hostess, reports said.
