Biden Clears Three Chinese Nationals Convicted of Child Pornography and Espionage
Dec 12, 2024, 05:43 PM
President Joe Biden has granted clemency to three Chinese nationals convicted of serious crimes. Shanlin Jin, sentenced to 97 months in prison, pleaded guilty to possessing 47,000 images of child pornography, including videos of infant rape. Yanjun Xu, who received a 20-year sentence, plotted to steal proprietary information from aviation companies like GE Aviation. Ji Chaoquan was convicted of spying for China. These clemency decisions come as Biden's term nears its end, amid discussions of potentially issuing 'preemptive pardons' for Biden allies, following the backlash from pardoning his son Hunter Biden. The White House has stated that the individuals were convicted of 'non-violent' crimes.
