US says it will start revoking visas for Chinese students
- On May 29, 2025, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced plans to intensify the cancellation of visas for Chinese students, particularly targeting those connected to the Communist Party or enrolled in sensitive academic disciplines.
- This announcement follows years of Republican efforts to reduce Chinese influence on U.S. Campuses amid tariff wars and political tensions between the two nations.
- U.S. Campuses host more than 275,000 Chinese students, who contribute significant tuition revenue, but the visa policy has raised alarm and triggered protests across universities.
- Graduate student Kesong Cao, who abandoned his studies after eight years in the U.S., said, "I do not feel welcome anymore" and described his dream as "falling apart."
- Experts warn the visa revocation could diminish U.S. Leadership in science and technology by deterring talented students, while critics argue the crackdown risks fueling discrimination and harming academic collaborations.
