- In May 2025, the Trump administration announced a new policy to significantly increase the cancellation of visas for Chinese nationals enrolled in U.S. Colleges, particularly targeting those associated with the Chinese Communist Party or pursuing studies in sensitive areas.
- This visa crackdown follows stalled U.S.-China trade talks and accusations that China abused the student visa program and violated a recent Geneva agreement.
- Chinese students, who number about 280,000 and represent the second-largest international group in the U.S., face uncertainty, with visa revocations causing fears of deportation and disrupting academic plans.

- The visa policy heightens tensions amid fragile trade negotiations and raises concerns about its impact on student aspirations and diplomatic relations between the U.S. And China.
