China lashes out after Trump admin moves to revoke visas for Chinese students linked to CCP: ‘US lie’

China criticized the US decision to revoke visas for Chinese college students linked to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields for national security, calling it a politicized and discriminatory move that exposes the US claim of upholding freedom and openness. The Chinese foreign ministry expressed strong opposition to the move, labeling it as unreasonable and made under the pretext of ideology and national security. Despite China’s objections, the Trump administration defended the measures as essential to safeguard American interests. Chinese students, a significant demographic among international students in the US, are reportedly reconsidering their plans following the announcement. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the visa revocation initiative, stating that the US State Department, under President Trump’s direction, will collaborate with the Department of Homeland Security to implement the policy.
