WASHINGTON, D.C. — China has freed three Americans considered wrongfully detained in a swap with the United States, US officials said Wednesday, meeting a key goal of outgoing President Joe Biden's administration.

The three Americans — Mark Swidan, Kai Li and John Leung — were the last prisoners in China classified by the State Department as wrongfully detained, although activists and families have raised the cases of other US citizens.
