The Chinese government has expressed its dismay over the treatment of Chinese students arriving in the United States. In recent months, several Chinese students holding valid visas have been denied entry, interrogated for extensive periods, had their electronic devices checked, and, in some cases, forcibly deported from the country.
Xie Feng, the Chinese ambassador in Washington, shared his concerns in a post on the Chinese Embassy website. He revealed that students returning to school from overseas travel or visiting relatives in China were subjected to an arduous eight-hour interrogation upon landing at U.S. airports. During this process, they were not allowed to contact their parents, faced baseless accusations, and were even repatriated with a ban on re-entry. Xie described this treatment as 'absolutely unacceptable' and expressed China's strong protest.
