The White House plans to cancel visas for thousands of Chinese graduate students and researchers affiliated with Chinese universities tied to the Peoples Liberation Army, according to a report.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo discussed the plan with President Trump during a meeting Tuesday, The New York Times reported, citing officials with knowledge of the discussions.
The plan to cancel visas comes as the Trump administration is seeking to punish China after Beijing moved to impose new national security legislation on Hong Kong, which was condemned by Pompeo this week. Canceling visas were already being discussed by the administration before Beijing's move in the territory.

No question.
If the 360,000 Chinese students were distributed equally among the 50 states, then each state would have 7200 students. Now, we all know that averages mean nothing in this matter, but it helps to give it some perspective. Does anyone among us really believe that China is sending this many students to the U. S. for a better education.
I am familiar with an American lad who did a year in jail for drug peddling, had a child with a woman he never married, had a very menial job after his jail time, yet married a Chinese student that graduated from our local university with a degree in electrical engineering. She was here on a student visa, married him and got a green card. Shortly after graduation and the wedding, they moved to Colorado Springs. Now what is located at Colorado Springs that might interest the PLA of China? If you answered the U. S. Air Force Academy, then you got the right answer.
We Americans can be such fools.
IMHO, we need to get every one of the Chinese students out of America. We can’t trust anything that China sends our way.
I said that the other day.
I am pretty patient but every single one of them is a threat and they need to go.
Just imagine if American students were given grad school positions in math and physics again!
Colleges were fine befire depending on Communisr Chinese money. Perhaps large administrative staffs and feel-good studies programs need to be cut. Why does the UC system need 40% Communist Chinese students, at least at UCSD?
I thought the “most favored nation” status applied before China’s acceptance to the WTO. Now, we have less leverage because of their WTO status. If we yank it, they can appeal to the WTO and get a ruling against us. The one exception is if we declare it is for national security reasons.
Some American University engineering and science graduate programs are 80%+ Chinese students. Some are almost completely Chinese.

LOL! Man, Im not jumping into that argument! My conservative wife would eat me for breakfast.
The White House plans....?
Get er done, now.
We owe China nothing.
It’s a good start.
We didn't educated the brats of German Nazis during World War II and we should NOT be educating the brats of Chinese 'elites' either...
THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP....
Feel good story of the day. Letting spies from an openly hostile nation steal your technology is rarely a good idea.
