On Thursday, Australian citizen Sadam Abudusalamu was able to reunite with his wife Nadila Wumaier, and three-year-old son Lutfy in Sydney.
The family was allowed to leave China following diplomatic negotiations.
Ms Wumaier - also a member of China's Uighur Muslim minority - said she had previously been under house arrest.
The family shared pictures of their emotional meeting at Sydney Airport on Friday. Mr Abdusalam had never met his son before, who was born in 2017.
"Thank you Australia. Thank you everyone," Mr Abdusalamu tweeted.
