US-China Prisoner Swap Frees 3 Americans

The United States has secured the release of three Americans, Mark Swidan, Kai Li, and John Leung, who had been detained in China for years, through a prisoner swap with Beijing. The Americans were exchanged for unidentified Chinese nationals and are now in US custody. This diplomatic effort, led by the Biden administration, follows years of negotiations and comes shortly before President-elect Donald Trump takes office. The release has been welcomed by the families of the detainees, who had been advocating for their return.
