  • Two Chinese spies and a Chinese national charged for disseminating child pornography were part of a recent White House prison swap as Biden's presidency nears the end.

The U.S. has engaged in a prisoner swap with China, releasing three individuals convicted of spying in exchange for detained U.S. citizens.
