US EditionTrump says US will accept 600,000 Chinese students as part of trade deal
- On August 25, 2025, President Donald Trump announced that the United States would permit 600,000 Chinese students to pursue education at American higher education institutions, a move made during ongoing trade negotiations with China.
- This announcement reversed prior administration policies that aggressively revoked visas for Chinese students amid concerns about foreign influence and national security.
- The plan provoked backlash from MAGA supporters including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and far-right influencer Laura Loomer, who criticized the number and alleged Chinese loyalty to the CCP.
- Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick defended the policy on Fox News, stating without these students, the bottom 15% of American universities would go out of business.
- The decision signals a potential thaw in US-China relations but raises debate on balancing economic interests and security concerns related to foreign student admissions.
