Three American detainees in China, including an F.B.I. informant, have been released in a swap for a Chinese intelligence officer, highlighting ongoing diplomatic tensions.
Sean Savett of the National Security Council confirmed the detainees' return after extensive negotiations, stating, 'They will be reunited with families for the first time in many years.'
The U.S. administration asserts that no other Americans are wrongfully detained in China, where the government considers such individuals as political hostages.
The exchange involved the release of Xu Yanjun, a Chinese spy previously arrested in Brussels, in a significant diplomatic maneuver between the U.S. and China.
