Part 2/11:
The Biden administration, under the direction of Secretary of State Marco Rubio, revealed an aggressive plan to revoke visas for Chinese nationals linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) or involved in sensitive research fields. This policy aims to curb China's infiltration efforts on U.S. campuses, which authorities believe have been used as platforms for espionage, intellectual property theft, and illicit technology transfer.
Rubio characterized the move as a "national security measure", emphasizing the importance of protecting American research and innovation. The State Department has reportedly halted new appointments of student and exchange visitor visas, signaling a significant escalation in efforts to scrutinize and limit Chinese influence.
