Semyonov was eventually acquitted, and returned to China where he was given a monthly 1000-yen pension by the Japanese government. He settled mostly in Northern China and Manchuria, where he had ties with the Japanese intelligence community and where he continued to wield some influence over the exiled Russian and Cossack communities. He was also employed by Puyi, the former Manchu Emperor of China.
