Two American siblings prevented from leaving China since 2018 have now been allowed to travel back to the United States.
In June 2018, Chinese authorities imposed an "exit ban" on Victor and Cynthia Liu, both American citizens, as they were visiting family in China. A State Department spokesperson said they "welcome Cynthia and Victor Liu's return to the United States on Sunday."
"Our consular staff in Shanghai helped facilitate their departure," the spokesperson said Tuesday, adding they made this confirmation after close consultation with the family.
