Americans Freed in China Return Home After Biden's Clemency Move

President Joe Biden granted clemency to Ji Chaoqun, a Chinese national convicted of operating as an illegal agent in the U.S., as part of a diplomatic effort that led to the release of three Americans detained in China. Ji, who was serving an eight-year sentence, was released alongside another Chinese national, Yanjun Xu, in what appears to be a prisoner swap, although the White House has not confirmed this. Ji has returned to Beijing, and his release was not publicly announced until after it occurred.
