Fox News: California man sentenced for 'birth tourism' scheme for affluent Chinese women
A Southern California man, Michael Wei Yueh Liu, was sentenced to over three years in prison for running a "birth tourism" scheme that helped wealthy Chinese women give birth in the U.S. to secure American citizenship for their children. Liu and his associate, Jing Dong, charged between $20,000 and $100,000 for their services.
The operation, which ran from 2012 to 2015, involved misleading visa applications and coaching clients on how to deceive U.S. customs. Liu and Dong earned millions from the scheme, which included renting apartments under false names for the women. Dong's sentencing is pending.

Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya reported a surge in voluntary returns of Syrian refugees from Turkey, with 7,621 returning between December 9-13. He noted that border crossing capacity would increase to accommodate the expected influx.

European countries are also considering the return of their Syrian refugees, but safety remains a significant concern.

The statement also acknowledges the loss of power, stating Syria has fallen "into the hands of terrorism." It suggests that misinformation has distorted the narrative surrounding his exit, while Russian officials maintain that Assad chose to resign and was granted asylum.
