Beijing has strongly protested against the United States after the Trump administration canceled the visas of Chinese students studying at American universities. The Chinese government called the move “unreasonable” and unfair, accusing the U.S. of being hypocritical in its claims of supporting freedom and openness.
According to The Guardian, the decision, announced by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, focuses on “aggressively revok[ing] visas for Chinese students, including those with connections to the Chinese Communist party or studying in critical fields. We will also revise visa criteria to enhance scrutiny of all future visa applications from the People’s Republic of China and Hong Kong.”
