Two Canadians who had been detained in Beijing for more than 1000 days return home as part of a high-stakes prisoner swap involving China, the US and Canada

The"Two Michaels" were arrested in China in December 2018 shortly after Canada arrested Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou on a US extradition request.

Footage from TV channel CTV showed Trudeau welcoming businessman Michael Spavor and former diplomat Michael Kovrig when they arrived in the western Canadian city of Calgary.Late on Friday, Trudeau told reporters the two Canadians had left Chinese airspace, shortly after Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou flew out of Canada after reaching an agreement with US prosecutors, ending her extradition hearing.

The United States applauded the two men's release, with Secretary of State Antony Blinken saying his country was "pleased" by the Chinese move and "stands with the international community in welcoming the decision by People's Republic of China authorities" to free the Canadians.Both Kovrig and Spavor were put on trial in March of this year.
