About 277,000 Chinese students studied in the U.S. last year, making them the second largest group of foreign students in the U.S., after people from India.
“The chilling effect on Chinese students choosing the United States as their preferred place to go for study will be enormous,” said Rosie Levine, executive director of the US-China Education Trust, a nonprofit education group. “There are some 99 million Communist Party members in China, so depending on how they enforce this, it could catch up probably every Chinese student interested in coming to the United States who could have some Communist Party connection within their background.”
Even if just a threat, Marco Rubio’s announcement is likely to decisively end the popularity of U.S. universities and colleges for Chinese students.
Rubio’s announcement did not specify how many students would lose their ability to study in the U.S., but suggested the effort would focus on people with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or those studying sensitive subjects.
“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, including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields,” he said in a statement. “We will also revise visa criteria to enhance scrutiny of all future visa applications from the People’s Republic of China and Hong Kong.”
It would also hurt U.S. institutions, which have come to rely on foreign students to help offset the cost of providing financial aid to Americans. And it comes as President Donald Trump exerts pressure on colleges and universities to address allegations of antisemitism by threatening to withhold federal funding and grants.

... until a Federal judge says he can’t ...
NOTE: India has more students here. You know that 99% of them will never return home. Same thing is going on in Australia, being overwhelmed with Indian and Chinese students.
I’m hearing a very positive buzz about Marco from friends and family.
I have a lot of Indian clients. They send much of their money home to India for extended family.
No thank you.
PDJT is doing a very good thing.
We do not need them here stealing every bit of military related research they can.
China is still shipping fethanyl into the USA via Mexico to kill Americans. Eff them and their 277,000 students.
Little Marco is looking like a presidential candidate.
Good for him !
“It would also hurt US Institutions.........”>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Good result.
OUr nations colleges are nothing but indoctrination centers now for the progressive radical left........we do not need them until they return to the fold of genuine education that teaches history that is accurate.
Ban the Indian students too while you’re at it.
Has a federal judge rushed forward to the aid of China yet?
Maybe rule that China has a right to send spies?
Who funds the US-China Education Trust?
Even money says it is the US Government.
I already said yes! Stop trying to sell me on this idea!!!
“the effort would focus on people with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or those studying sensitive subjects”
They ALL study sensitive subjects, that’s why they’re here. And before the Chinese, it was Russians and Iranians.
Students from Communist China are either willing or unwilling arms of the CCP.
Individually, many of them will be fine people. But fine people have done repulsive things throughout history when their loved ones are used as a lever by the government.
No student from China is here without those strings attached, willing or unwilling.
And an evil government that will harvest the organs from living, healthy people who disagree with them, or murder tens or hundreds of millions of its own citizens to advance the interests of its own tyrannical government will shrink from ordering a student to perform espionage as they hold that student’s loved ones at the point of a gun.
People just don’t understand-Communist China has been waging war on the United States for decades and winning it. We simply refuse to recognize that fact.
Imagine having this sort of “engineer” on your team. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/05/27/indian-man-in-u-s-on-student-visa-arrested-for-50k-elder-scam/
They all by Chinese law have to operate as Chinese spies over here, which means none of them should be over here.
Like 4 out of 5 of Trump’s children, Marco is not a natural Born citizen of the United States.
““The chilling effect on Chinese students choosing the United States as their preferred place to go for study will be enormous,” said Rosie Levine, executive director of the US-China Education Trust, a nonprofit education group.”
Find out where the money comes from to fund this “non profit”.

If you hire an Indian you going to have to expect them to scam. Just like you have to expect a Chinese to spy .
It’s just how it’s going to be
Is Trump himself?
