China released an Australian journalist whom it had detained for more than three years on suspicion of disclosing state secrets, removing a key irritant in a tense relationship between a close U.S. ally and Beijing.
Cheng Lei, who was an anchor for the Chinese government’s English-language television news channel, arrived in Melbourne by plane where she was reunited with her two children, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Wednesday. Her release comes as Albanese prepares to visit China in a landmark trip later this year.
