U.S. will 'aggressively' revoke Chinese students' visas, Rubio says

HONG KONG — The United States will start “aggressively” revoking the visas of Chinese students, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Wednesday, including those with connections to the ruling Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields.

The announcement is the latest move in the Trump administration’s campaign against U.S. universities and international students in particular, after it revoked thousands of students’ visas, detained or deported other students over political activism and sought to bar international students from enrolling at Harvard University.

Rubio said in a statement that visa criteria would also be revised to “enhance scrutiny” of all future visa applications from the People’s Republic of China and the Chinese territory of Hong Kong.

“Under President Trump’s leadership, the U.S. State Department will work with the Department of Homeland Security to aggressively revoke visas for Chinese students,” he said.

China said Thursday that the U.S. was “unjustifiably” canceling Chinese student visas “under the pretext of ideology and national security.”

It's like the government is in fear of Communist subversion. The PRC has lost interest in Communism as an international movrement -- it has not supported any Communist movements in other countries since the Vietnam War ended.
