President Trump is facing outcry from some of his supporters after saying he plans to allow 600,000 students from China into the U.S.
“It’s a very important relationship. We’re going to get along good with China,” Trump told reporters Monday during a meeting with the president of South Korea.
“I hear so many stories about, ‘We’re not going to allow their students,’” he continued. “We’re going to allow their students to come in. We’re going to allow it. It’s very important — 600,000 students. It’s very important.”
Trump’s comments marked a shift from earlier in the year, when Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he planned to “aggressively” revoke visas from Chinese students, particularly those “with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields.”
The president’s openness to welcoming hundreds of thousands of Chinese students did not sit well with some members of his base, who questioned how it aligned with Trump’s “America First” mantra.
“We should not let in 600,000 CHINESE students to attend American colleges and universities that may be loyal to the CCP,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) posted on the social platform X.
“Why are we allowing 600,000 students from China to replace our American student’s opportunities?” Greene added. “We should never allow that. And we need more trade school graduates.”

Per year, or over a number of years?
How many have already been coming in? Context might help.... (though 600,000 is still a big number).
I fail to see the logic behind allowing more Chinese spies into the country.
“”President Trump is facing outcry from some of his supporters after saying he plans to allow 600,000 students from China into the U.S.””
Higbee just questioned Trump on this on Newsmax. He doesn’t get it either.
It’s double what is already here. We can’t even manage them. Disaster waiting to happen. Hope Rubio talks him out of this traitorous idea.
There is no logic. It’s a complete sellout.
it makes no sense. Don’t forget that the man that planned the attack on Pearl Harbor,,,,Yamamoto, went to Harvard.
Who doesn’t get it? Higbee or Trump?
Trump should force them to attend a Detroit Pistons game, then threaten to deport them to a Sub-Saharan African country if they don’t self-deport.
Great way to screw Republicans in the midterms. China is collapsing and he’s trying to kowtow to them?
300,000
I just sent them my negative opinion on this. Flood the White House with messages.
Unique cold war strategy. Americanize their youth as students in America... and thereby destroy them from within like they’ve been doing to us for decades. Difference is, those poor wokied/liberalized kids will go back to China, act all uppity and get Tiananmen Squared.
Trump is all over the place. However there are benefits to being unpredictable.
But that may or may not be the case here since this one involves potential deal-making which is his comfort zone. We will see how this one pans out if it does.
If you're after cruel and unusual punishment, make them was the Wiz or Hornets instead.
If such institutions, profit or non-profit, are so subpar to rely on foreign
students, let them quietly go "out of business".
“”Who doesn’t get it? Higbee or Trump?””
Higbee doesn’t get Trump’s stance on this... ie those 600,000 ChiCom... er... Chinese students.
