Japan’s foreign ministry yesterday lodged “strong protests” against China after admitting that a diplomat in its Shanghai consulate committed suicide, allegedly after being blackmailed by Chinese spies over his affair with a bar worker.The ministry did not disclose the diplomat’s death until the story was broken this week by the Japanese weekly magazine Shukan Bunshun. The magazine said he had hanged himself at the Shanghai consulate in the early hours of May 6 2004.
