Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel reviews an honour guard during a welcoming ceremony outside the Great Hall of the People in Beijing July 7, 2014.


She made the comments at a news conference while on a visit to Beijing.


The White House and State Department have so far declined to comment on the arrest of a 31-year-old employee of Germany's BND foreign intelligence agency.


According to intelligence and political sources, the man admits to passing documents to a U.S. contact.
