Two American siblings blocked from leaving China since 2018 were allowed to return to the United States over the weekend, shortly after Canada released Huawei chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou.

Cynthia and Victor Liu, both American citizens, returned to the United States on Sept. 25 after more than three years, after China lifted an “exit ban” on the pair. Although they had never been accused of wrongdoing, they had been for years prevented from leaving the country.
