Three American citizens—Mark Swidan, Kai Li, and John Leung—have been released from Chinese detention in a rare diplomatic agreement, following years of wrongful imprisonment.
The White House stated that all wrongfully detained Americans in China are finally home, marking a significant moment in U.S.-China diplomatic relations.
Li, who faced serious charges related to state secrets, had his family claim that the accusations were politically motivated and that his detention was arbitrary.
Swidan's family reported he lost over 100 pounds due to deprivation in Chinese custody, as there was no concrete evidence against him for drug charges.
