BANGKOK (AP) — Family members and activists have called for the release of imprisoned Chinese journalist Dong Yuyu due to health concerns. Dong, an editor at a major state-owned newspaper, the Guangming Daily, was taken away while meeting a Japanese diplomat for lunch in 2022 and was sentenced to seven years in prison for espionage in 2024. “Yuyu is now effectively facing a death sentence,” the family said in a statement Thursday. Dong was hospitalized at a prison-affiliated hospital in Tianjin
