China Frees Underground Pastor After a Quick Word From Trump
It turns out getting out of a Chinese prison doesn't require a complex diplomatic treaty. Sometimes, you just need the right guy to bring it up over dinner.
An underground church pastor was thrown behind bars in China back in October. Usually, this is where the story gets stuck in years of bureaucratic limbo and human rights petitions that go straight to the spam folder.
But things took a sharp turn. Donald Trump met with Xi Jinping, casually brought up the pastor's name, and asked for his release. And just like that, less than two months later, the pastor is a free man.
It is wild how international diplomacy sometimes works less like a grand chess game and more like a favors-and-handshakes deal at a country club.
Apparently, the ultimate life hack for bypassing international legal systems is just having the president drop someone's name in a casual chat.
