Chinese-American citizen Kai Li, jailed in China on spying charges he denies, received a rare in-person visit last week from the U.S. Ambassador to Beijing and urged the U.S. government to continue to work for his release, Li's son said on Friday.

Burns has accompanied consular officers on prison visits to U.S. citizens held in China, a State Department spokesperson said.LIMITED U.S.-CHINA DIPLOMACY
