According to TMZ, the three were taken into custody after they were busted trying to steal sunglasses from a Louis Vuitton store.
Fortunate enough for them, President Donald Trump reached out to President Xi, and Xi decided to let the boys return to the United States.

“You know, you’re talking about very long prison sentences. They [Chinese officials] do not play games,” said President Trump.
Hopefully these young men learned a valuable lesson.
Do you think the boys will be punished more so when they return to the United States?
