China frees jailed pastor Ezra Jin after Trump raised his case with Xi

Ezra Jin, the founder of an underground church in China, has been released after being detained since October. The release came after US President Donald Trump personally raised Jin's case with Chinese President Xi Jinping. This move highlights the complex diplomatic interactions between the US and China, showing how international pressure can influence domestic policy in authoritarian regimes. While his release is a relief for Jin's family and followers, it also underscores the precarious situation faced by religious minorities in China.
