Trump to allow 600,000 Chinese students entry to US for college as trade talks with China press on.

President Trump said his administration will welcome more Chinese students than ever into the United States to enroll in higher education as trade talks press on with Beijing.

Trump announced Monday that he plans to open the floodgates to another 600,000 Chinese college students, though it’s unclear when. There are currently around 270,000 Chinese students enrolled in US universities.

“I hear so many stories that we’re not going to allow their students,” Trump told reporters at the White House.

“We’re going to allow their students to come in. It’s very important, 600,000 students. It’s very important. But we’re going to get along with China.”

Trump’s announcement comes after Secretary of State Marco Rubio previously revealed a plan to crack down on visas for Chinese nationals — specifically, young college students.

“Under President Trump’s leadership, the US 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,” Rubio said in a statement in May.

The Chinese Communist Party, the majority party in the country, has more than 90 million members, according to the Council on Foreign Relations.

Kristi Noem as well as Marco Rubio are both pushing hard for massive Chinese student visa revocations. Trump suddenly referring to the two of them as "some people" he disagrees with? Either he's been seriously compromised, or else the article is total BS, designed to drive a wedge into his base of support.

This makes no sense whatsoever!

Also, wealthy Chinese do not need college; they are already communist.

I agree with Noem and Rubio. Something here stinks and I hope it’s not that Trump is compromised.

Maybe. Wasn’t Trump trying to get rid of Tik Tok in his first term and now he wants it. It seems Trump has become a whichever way the wind is blowing guy.

Well. he was in the middle of one of his rambling off the cuff remarks about Xi and a half dozen other things. who knows if it will really happen, or if he even knows what he said.

SometimesI wonder which side Trump is really on! Every Chinese student attending U.S. Universities is a hand selected CCP member who is required to submit intel reports on a regular basis. Is President Trump really that ignorant?

We should demand one American student be allowed to go to a University in China for every Chinese student allowed to go to ours! As it is now they have about a thousand to one ratio. If that is good enough for determining tariffs why not this too?

Trump does not need the money.

There are other reasons he did this.

He thinks he has a wedge to use on the ChiComs. Xi will be better than other ChiCom pea brains.

We are not just fighting the ChiComs, we are also fighting the Globalist Socialist idiots in the UK and EU and (some of) NATO and many Trans National Corporations.

Bear in Mind, Trump wants no part of merging Russia and China.

Long ago, it was written, who will be involved in the Final Battle.

Trump is totally behind Israel. For good reasons.

Trump wants to be on the final winning team.

So, here we are.
