US EditionUS says it will start revoking visas for Chinese students
UNITED STATES, MAY 30 – The U.S. targets Chinese students with visa revocations amid concerns over national security and academic ties to the Chinese Communist Party, affecting about 280,000 students last year.
- On May 28, 2025, Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared that the United States will intensify efforts to cancel visas for Chinese students who have connections to the Communist Party or are enrolled in sensitive academic disciplines.
- This move follows a yearslong Republican campaign to remove Chinese influence from U.S. campuses amid tariff wars and political tensions fraying academic ties.
- More than 275,000 Chinese students study in the U.S., and some, like 26-year-old Kesong Cao, have abandoned their studies due to these visa restrictions.
- Experts like former MIT president Reif warn the policy will damage U.S. science and innovation by losing top talent, while State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce cited concerns over CCP exploitation.
- The announcement sparked protests, including at Florida International University on April 17, 2025, and indicates a deeper chill in U.S.-China academic relations with potential long-term impacts.

The Press-EnterpriseUC faces fiscal woes in foreign student bans
It’s one thing if you are a Harvard, a private university with the nation’s largest endowment, as the Trump administration vows to “agressively revoke” Chinese student visas. It’s quite another thing altogether if you are the University of California, a public system that in recent decades has relied less and less on public monies and more and more on tuition — which is significantly higher for foreign and out-of-state seniors than for Californi…
