China: Revoking of Student Visas ‘Unjustified’
- On May 28 and 29, 2025, Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared that the U.S. would take strong measures to revoke thousands of visas held by Chinese students and temporarily halt global appointments for student visas.
- This move responds to ongoing U.S. concerns about Chinese students suspected of having affiliations with the Chinese Communist Party or pursuing studies in sensitive disciplines, within the context of broader strict immigration measures affecting Harvard and other educational institutions.
- China, which sent 277,398 students to the US in 2023–24, condemned the revocations as political and discriminatory, with spokeswoman Mao Ning calling them unreasonable and harmful to student rights and US-China people-to-people exchanges.
- A US judge temporarily blocked the move to bar foreign students at Harvard, where protests and legal challenges continue amid White House funding cuts, while students expressed uncertainty about their educational futures.
- The policy could reduce Chinese student enrollment, disrupting a key revenue source for US universities and a talent pipeline for technology companies, while encouraging some students to consider alternative countries like the UK.
