The Trump administration has barred Harvard University from enrolling foreign students, citing alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party. This move forces current international students to transfer or risk losing legal status. A U.S. judge temporarily halted the policy for two weeks. Harvard condemned the action as unlawful and pledged support for its students. Chinese students, the largest foreign group at Harvard, are seeking legal advice and canceling travel plans amid fears of immigration enforcement. The Chinese government criticized the U.S. action, vowing to protect its students' rights. This policy may further deter Chinese students from studying in the U.S., shifting preferences to countries like Australia and Singapore. (PC: Reuters)
