Key points: Mr Wang has conceded the embassy has been given little information about the trial of Australian Yang Hengjun Dr Yang pleaded not guilty to espionage in a closed Beijing court last week The top Chinese diplomat said the Morrison government was hypocritical to demand more transparency from China Dr Yang is being tried for espionage in a closed court in Beijing. The Federal Government has also become increasingly frustrated after being blocked from Dr Yang's trial, with Australia's Ambassador to China Graham Fletcher labelling it a case of "arbitrary detention". The ABC's Stan Grant raised Dr Yang's case with China's Deputy Head of Mission in Canberra, Wang Xining, during a wide-ranging interview for the first episode of "China Tonight." Wang Xining said China would "love to see peaceful reunification" but warned that the central government "cannot rule out other options to make our country reunified again".
