On May 28, 2025, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced visa revocations for select Chinese students in critical fields or linked to the Chinese Communist Party, citing national security concerns. The Trump administration also paused new visa interviews and plans stricter vetting, including social media checks. This move follows Republican criticism of Chinese access to U.S. research and earlier actions to block or deport students. Universities like Harvard face funding cuts, and many are preparing for disruptions. Critics warn the policy could harm academic exchange and discourage international students, intensifying anxiety across U.S. campuses. (PC: The Hindu)
