In wartime China, one actress Li Xianglan was about to be accused of high treason. But she was acquitted after she was confirmed to be a Japanese national who were born in China.
But one of princesses from the lineage of the last emperor in Tsi dynasty who was forced to live in Japan since she was a kid as a hostage was convicted as high treason although she knew a lot about Japan and knew few about China. Both women lived in China and were friends at the time they were indicted.
The capital punishment was the only consequence for high treason.
