A Texas man arrested in China in 2007 for stealing state secrets is reported to have been released early from his eight-year sentence. Dr Xue Feng had been negotiating the sale of an oil-industry database on behalf of his US company when he was arrested. He is now back with his family in the US but has not spoken publicly.
