US EditionUS says it will start revoking visas for Chinese students
- On May 28, 2025, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced plans to aggressively revoke visas of Chinese students linked to the Chinese Communist Party or studying critical fields in the United States.
- This move follows decades of academic collaboration since diplomatic ties resumed in the 1970s, but rising concerns over technology transfer and national security have fueled a Republican campaign to limit Chinese influence on campuses.
- U.S. Universities rely heavily on over 275,000 Chinese students who pay higher tuition fees subsidizing American education, yet some schools have ended partnerships with China amid accusations of lopsided benefits favoring Chinese technological advances.
- Critics such as former MIT president L. Rafael Reif and ex-ambassador Gary Locke argue that this policy damages U.S. Science and innovation by driving away top talent. Meanwhile, student Kesong Cao expressed a sense of disillusionment, saying the opportunity he once hoped for now feels like it is breaking down.
- The visa revocation signals a significant challenge to longstanding academic ties and may further reduce U.S.-China educational exchanges, potentially diminishing America's competitive edge in research and global talent attraction.
