when he said "200 American citizens are suspiciously imprisoned in China", I wondered if he was counting every American imprisoned in China. you expect they have to arrest some actual American criminals, and probably most of them are ethnically Chinese with American citizenship. looking around though, the claim is repeated with additional specifics, and seems to be cited from the Dui Hua foundation, but is contradicted by the source
"since 1972, John Kamm (Chainman of the foundation) has handled about 6,000 such cases in China, but he said only about a dozen involved American citizens.
In all, 110 American citizens have been detained, imprisoned, or released on bail or probation in China, according to a State Department response to a congressional committee in October."
so if anything, they are saying 200 Americans have been imprisoned in China... over 30 years, i.e. almost everyone has already been released. If I had to guess, most of these people were probably held for deportation.
that's going to be a generously deflated number since Mexico isn't in south America and Texas isn't the only state to detain immigrants (legal or otherwise)

Now do number of South Americans detained in Texas over 30 years
that's going to be a generously deflated number since Mexico isn't in south America and Texas isn't the only state to detain immigrants (legal or otherwise)
The point is that even the deflated number will be orders of magnitude greater
right, i wasn't trying to contradict, just add

for the record most of these citizens that were imprisoned were rich chinese expats money laundering cash out of china
