问题 1 BEIJING, China (CNN  Thursday, May 13, 2004) - A Beijing court has sentenced a U.S.-based Chinese dissident to five years in prison after convicting him of espionage and illegal border crossing, his lawyer said.
2 yang Jianli has already been imprisoned in Beijing for more than two years.
3 He will not receive credit for time served, according to his U.S.-based attorney Jared Genser. Yang, a Chinese scholar living in the Boston area with permanent U.S. residency, was arrested in April 2002 on charges of using a friend’s passport to enter China and traveling with a fake identity card for a week to observe labor unrest in northeastern China.
4 Genser said the spying charge was related to a small foundation that Yang ran from his home from 1992 to 1993.
5 The Chinese government charged that he received $400 in funding from a person in Taiwan who had ties a political party there.
6 The court has five days to deliver the verdict personally to Yang or a family member, and Yang will have another 10 days to appeal.
7 He was indicted last July in Beijing after spending more than a year in jail, and a secretive three-hour trial was held a month later.
8 No verdict was released after the brief trial and no observers were allowed in the courtroom because the case reportedly involved state secrets, Yang’s attorney, Mo Shaoping, said at the time.
9 U.S. embassy officials had sought to attend the trial without success, Mo said.
10 According to Genser, a verdict in the case was due by December of last year - the deadline under Chinese law. In March, Yang staged a three-day protest from prison because of the delay.
11 Yang operates the Boston-based Foundation for China in the 21st Century and has been blacklisted by Chinese authorities since 1989 for his participation in pro-democracy demonstrations.
12 The U.S. Senate last summer condemned Yang’s lengthy detention and called for his immediate and unconditional release.  [br] The best title for the passage is ______.
选项 A、China jails U.S.-based dissident
B、Yang Jianli has already been imprisoned in Beijing
C、China arrests a U.S.-based spy
