Australian Yang Hengjun has been sentenced to death by a Chinese court, Foreign Minister Penny Wong has confirmed.
It is a suspended sentence that can be converted to a life sentence after two years subject to good behaviour.
The Australian citizen, writer and democracy activist has been imprisoned in China since 2019 on charges of spying, which he has always denied.
Senator Wong has called the court's decision "harrowing" and "appalling".
The Australian government has petitioned for his release, but officials had not been able to attend Dr Yang's closed trial, which began in 2021.
