Diplomatic Immunities and Privileges

Japan's Foreign Minister alleged China violated the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations when Chinese intelligence agents blackmailed a Japanese consular officer, who had an affair with a "sexy" woman, to give away classified information which eventually led to his suicide. "Most diplomats aren't so good looking and they should be trained to be cautious when they're approached by women," Taro Aso claimed. China denied the accusation.

Later, Aso reportedly retracted the allegaton.
