Youlin Chen, a Boston resident and U.S. citizen, was detained by Chinese state security officials in November 2024 while visiting his parents in Beijing and has since been charged with espionage, according to an organization assisting his family. Chen’s wife, Yufang Rong, said she has not spoken with him in more than 600 days and expressed concerns about his health and well-being.

Caverton Pilots: PDP Calls for Dialogue
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called for dialogue between the Federal Government and Rivers State Government over the impasse relating to the pilots of Caverton Helicopters.
The party asks the Federal Government to restrain from acts that would portray it as politicizing the fight against COVID-19, just like the situation in Rivers State has shown.
PDP is deeply concerned that issues of protocols, which could have been managed through dialogue, is being escalated to assume a political dimension by the Minister of Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika.
Our party holds that the issue of public health safety should be of major concern to all actors in government irrespective of the offices they occupy.
We find it strange that the Federal Government would be supporting a private business to disobey the extant order of a state.
We hold that all decisions and actions of the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wilke, so far, rests on ensuring public safety and protecting the people of Rivers State from the scary wrath of COVID-19.
We therefore call on the Federal Government, particularly the Minister of Aviation, to pursue the path of dialogue and stop politicizing COVID-19.
The PDP considers it imperative to ask the Federal Government to direct Caverton and her passengers to subject themselves to health checks by Rivers State Health Surveillance Officials.
We also demand that President Muhammadu Buhari, should as a matter of urgency, provide incentives for Rivers State to enable the state perform its responsibility as the oil and gas hub of our nation, particularly at this critical time of COVID-19.
Signed:
Kola Ologbondiyan
National Publicity Secretary.
