BEIJING: China has found no clues to determine what led to a US executive employee to suffer a mind trauma after experiencing bizarre sounds, the international ministry said on Thursday.
The US State Department has said the incident within the southern town of Guangzhou resembled the still-unexplained accidents that took place US and Canadian diplomats in Cuba ultimate 12 months.
"China has conducted a very careful investigation and has given preliminary findings to the US, and we haven't found the reason or clues that led to the situation mentioned by the US," international ministry spokesman Lu Kang instructed a typical press briefing.
"China has always followed the Vienna Convention on diplomatic relations and consular relations to protect the US diplomatic staff and staff from other countries," Lu said.
The US embassy in Beijing issued a health alert on Wednesday over the incident, while announcing it didn't know what led to the indications or of any identical scenarios within the nation.
The health alert said the worker "recently reported subtle and vague, but abnormal, sensations of sound and pressure".
The unidentified US citizen experienced a lot of bodily symptoms between past due 2017 and April 2018. The individual used to be despatched to the United States for further evaluation and on May 18 the embassy discovered that the victim had gentle stressful mind harm (MTBI).
During a visit to Washington on Wednesday, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said China had no longer "found that any organisation or individual has carried out such a sonic influence".
Wang warned against the case being "politicised".
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the scientific indications have been "very similar and entirely consistent" with what came about in Cuba.
"We are working to figure out what took place both in Havana and now in China as well," he said.
Last 12 months 24 US diplomats and their family members in Cuba fell victim to mysterious "attacks" that left them with accidents akin to mind trauma. Ten Canadian diplomats and their family also suffered a strange illness.
Both international locations scaled back their presence at the Caribbean island because of the issue, which continues to baffle investigators and has strained US diplomatic members of the family with Havana.
