US EditionUS says it will start revoking visas for Chinese students
- On May 29, 2025, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the administration plans to take strong measures to cancel visas of Chinese students in the United States, particularly targeting those involved in sensitive areas of study or connected to the Communist Party.
- This move follows a yearslong Republican campaign aimed at reducing Chinese influence on U.S. campuses and insulating American research from economic and military competition with China amid fraying bilateral ties.
- U.S. campuses host over 275,000 Chinese students, who contribute significant tuition revenue, but the policy has alarmed students and led some, like graduate student Kesong Cao, to abandon studies due to feeling unwelcome.

- The policy's implications include potential expansion beyond students to a wider Chinese population, deepening U.S.-China academic rifts and intensifying competition for global talent and innovation.
