Washington, DC – Chinese graduate student Anson expressed heartbreak over the Trump administration’s announcement to revoke visas for Chinese students, creating uncertainty among them. The vague policy, aimed at those linked to the Chinese Communist Party or studying critical fields, is seen as part of a broader atmosphere of suspicion towards Chinese scholars, echoing past initiatives perceived as racial profiling. Experts suggest the ambiguity serves political purposes rather than addressing legitimate national security concerns, leaving students anxious about their futures in the U.S.
