China has released five staff of the due diligence firm Mintz Group after nearly two years in detention, the United States-based company has said.

Chinese authorities detained the five local staff in March 2023, marking the start of a series of raids on foreign consultancy and due diligence firms, including Bain & Company and Capvision Partners.
