_______________________German chancellor Angela Merkel spoke about the issue while on a visit to Beijing. She said the reports that a Germany intelligence employee spying for the United States was the serious case if they are proven to be true, the German federal prosecutor is investigating, the allegations are true, the case would be a clear contradiction of trust and cooperation between agencies and partners. Those comments were Ms. Merkel's first public remarks since German authorities arrested the 31-year-old man suspected of being a double agent last week. _________________________德国总理默克尔在访问中国期间谈及此事,她表示,若报道称德国情报部门一工作人员为美国间谍一事一旦被证实为真,那么该事件将非常严重.德国联邦检察官正在调查此事,如果属实,该事件将导致德国情报机构同合作伙伴之间在信任与协作上产生隔阂.双面间谍嫌疑人是一名31岁的男子,于上周被捕,这是默克尔在其被捕后首次在公开场合发表评论.
