Chinese authorities said they plan to hold an open trial when they try two foreign investigators tied to U.K. drug company GlaxoSmithKline on charges of illegally purchasing personal information about Chinese nationals. As the WSJ’s Laurie Burkitt reports:

The degree of openness wasn’t immediately clear. But the move raises the possibility that U.S. and U.K. officials will be allowed to observe the proceedings against Peter William Humphrey, a 58-year-old British national, and his wife, Yu Yingzeng, a 61-year-old American. U.S. consular officials had previously said the court planned to bar foreign consular officials and families of the investigators because of privacy issues.
