Chinese students studying in the US are scrambling to find out their futures after the announcement of US State Secretary Marco Rubio on Wednesday that some students may have canceled their visa. According to the announcement, the US will begin to cancel some Chinese students’ visas, including those studying in “important areas”, and people with Chinese Communist Party connections, “according to the announcement. China is the second largest country for international students in the United States only behind India. In the 2023–2024 school year, more than 270,000 international students were from China, making a quarter of all foreign students in the US. This is a new version of the Chinese Exclusion Act, who asked to be recognized by his first name only for fear of vengeance, “said Linkin, a Chinese student at the University of Johns Hopkins. He said that on Wednesday, he thought of leaving America after spending a third of his life for the first time. Chinese international students are a point of tension between the US and China. The issue of Chinese students studying abroad is a point of tension in bilateral relations for a long time. During Trump’s first term, in 2019, the Ministry of Education of Chinese warned students about visa issues in the US, which lacked rejection rates and a shortage of visas. Last year, the Chinese Foreign Ministry protested that many Chinese students were wrongly interrogated and sent home when reaching US airports. The Chinese state media has staged violent protests during gun violence and epidemic in the US, and has depicted the US as a dangerous place that was not safe for its citizens. Stressful bilateral relations also mean that some Chinese students are choosing to study in the US in the US or other countries after epidemic. Zo Renge, a student of a 27 -year -old public policy master at the University of Chicago, said that she had planned to take some time and work in humanitarian aid programs abroad after graduation at the end of this year. But now, she will avoid leaving America and meanwhile will search for jobs. “In a very uncertain environment, I will try my best to find a solution myself,” he said. Hong Kong wanted to draw in Chinese talent amid uncertainty, eager to capitalize on uncertainty in front of some international students. Hong Kong leader John Lee told MPs on Thursday that the city would welcome any student discriminated against by American policies to study in the city. “Students who face unfair treatment can come from different countries beyond the US, I think it is an opportunity for Hong Kong,” he said. “We will work with our universities to provide best assistance and support.” After a widely shared post by Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Trump said that after canceling the university’s ability to accept international students, offered the process for transfer for any Harvard University students after canceling the university’s ability to accept. Hong Kong, a former British colony that returned to China in 1997, is a popular destination for Chinese students of mainland to pursue their university degree due to their international image and relative freedom. In 2022, the city had already launched a new visa plan, which took place after Beijing, which took place for dissatisfaction with a National Security Act and after implementing a National Security Act during the Kovid -19 epidemic. Kitty Wu, director of the Education Consultancy Litz USA Student Service in Hong Kong, said that some students planning to apply in American universities in future are now considering a choice of Hong Kong University, the top universities of the city and its high ranking – something that did not happen earlier. “Things are different every day, we do not know how things will change in future, so we do not know the effects for the next year,” he said. The US was known for diversity and it would harm it, students say “less international exchange is certainly good for the development of America,” said a post-doctoral Fellow Zhang Qui in Beijing. “This can be a positive change for China’s development. More talented persons can opt for living in Tsinghua or Peking University, or with Chinese Academy and other top institutions in China, which will benefit the development of domestic science and technology., For many people, very little they can do because they now wait for the decline from the move. Chinese students coming to the University of Purdue, who only gave their last name for anxiety for vengeance by the Trump administration, are eagerly waiting for their visa approval. But he was also angry. Currently in China, he said that it was an exact opposite that he thought was standing for America. “I was expecting freedom and tolerance, the US was known for its diversity that allows international students to fit, but it is a pity to see such changes,” he said.
