Americans blocked from leaving China return to US

Cynthia and Victor Liu, whose father is Chinese fugitive Liu Changming, were stopped from leaving for three years.

Two American siblings prevented from leaving China since 2018 returned to the United States over the weekend, according to a US official, shortly after the US ended an extradition case against a top Huawei executive.

Cynthia and Victor Liu were not allowed to leave China because of an “exit ban” – despite facing no criminal allegations themselves.

Their father, former bank official Liu Changming, is one of China’s most wanted fugitives and faces fraud charges.
