The Trump administration announced plans to tighten visa policies for Chinese students. This includes revoking some existing visas and increasing screening for future applicants. Secretary of State Marco Rubio made the announcement after China criticized his earlier decision to suspend student visa appointments globally. The move comes amid tensions involving U.S. universities like Harvard, which resisted pressure over student protests. Chinese students, who numbered over 277,000 in the 2023–24 academic year, are a major source of revenue for American universities, which could be financially affected by these changes.
