Trump administration to crack down on Chinese visas, Rubio says

Secretary Marco Rubio has intensified the Trump administration's tough stance toward Beijing by announcing stricter visa scrutiny for Chinese and Hong Kong applicants, particularly targeting STEM students with ties to the CCP or studying in critical fields. Critics worry that narrow definitions could lead to unintended consequences for affected students and economic disruptions. Meanwhile, students and educators in China brace for uncertainty as some have already shifted their studies abroad amid growing instability.
