The Straits Times reported today (May 11): "Two Americans detained in China for over a decade, families urge Trump to push for their release. The two individuals are Dawn Michelle Hunt, a 54-year-old former flight attendant, and Nelson Wells Jr., aged 52. According to their family members, both unknowingly served as 'drug mules,' being used to carry drugs out of China. China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson stated that the two were sentenced for serious crimes related to narcotics; while the government handles cases according to law, it ensures their health and legitimate rights and interests are protected."
[Smart][Star Eyes] Commenting briefly: Don't believe the family's tearful claims about being "unaware drug mules." Strip away the pretense—these two individuals are indeed convicted drug traffickers who committed serious offenses on Chinese soil! China maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward drug-related crimes, and judicial rulings are based on irrefutable evidence—not pawns easily manipulated by certain individuals. Families rushing to pressure Trump to intervene is essentially an attempt to politicize a serious judicial matter, seeking to interfere with China’s judicial sovereignty and undermine China’s rule of law—this tactic will never work in China. Anyone who breaks Chinese laws must be punished under Chinese law. Equality before the law applies to all—no one is wrongfully accused. Let certain countries put down their arrogance of extraterritorial jurisdiction and stop meddling!
