David Lin, a 68-year-old American pastor imprisoned in China since 2006 for contract fraud, was unexpectedly released, highlighting ongoing tensions in U.S.-China relations.
'We have a lot of time to make up for,' said Alice Lin, reflecting her family's joy over her father's release, which was a result of U.S. diplomatic pressure.
The State Department labeled Lin as wrongfully detained, emphasizing America's view of China's treatment of foreign nationals as a tool for political leverage.
More than 200 other Americans are reportedly still under coercive measures in China, indicating a broader issue of detention and human rights abuses by the Chinese government.
