The US announces the start of deporting Chinese students, and the Chinese Foreign Ministry speaks out urgently!
Just now, US Secretary of State Rubio announced on social media that the US will begin revoking Chinese student visas, emphasizing that political reviews will be conducted on Chinese students. Those with a political background and studying in sensitive fields are key review targets.
According to relevant US regulations, after a visa is revoked, the holder's legal status in the US will be directly terminated without the need for verification of violation evidence or appeal procedures, posing a risk of deportation. For example, international students whose SEVIS records are terminated must leave within the specified period; otherwise, they will be considered illegal overstayers.
In the regular press conference of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, spokesperson Mao Ning stated that China will firmly uphold the legitimate rights and interests of overseas Chinese students and scholars. I estimate that we need to prepare ourselves; the Chinese embassy and consulates in the US will need to prepare to receive a batch of students whose visas have been revoked.
