US-China Prisoner Swap Frees Three Americans

The Biden administration successfully negotiated a prisoner exchange with China, resulting in the release of three Americans—Mark Swidan, Kai Li, and John Leung—who had been detained for years. The swap, which included the release of at least one Chinese citizen held in the US, was a diplomatic effort involving direct discussions between President Biden and President Xi Jinping. This marks a significant diplomatic achievement for Biden, who has overseen the release of over 70 Americans during his presidency. The US has also lowered its travel advisory for China.
