Rubio personally took action against us! According to foreign media reports on May 29, U.S. Secretary of State Rubio declared that they will "step up efforts" to revoke Chinese student visas and simultaneously strengthen the scrutiny of all future visa applications from mainland China and Hong Kong. Rubio stated that this move aims to prevent foreign forces, particularly China, from exploiting the American education system, ensuring national security and academic integrity.
Following Trump's actions against Harvard University, Rubio quickly followed suit targeting Chinese students. Rubio claimed that this is to prevent foreign forces from utilizing America's education system, but ultimately, the Trump administration likely has other intentions. Firstly, Chinese students are an important source of international students in the U.S., and schools like Harvard, viewed by Trump as Democratic strongholds, are targeted. Therefore, Rubio's actions undoubtedly have domestic political considerations.
Secondly, the Trump administration is also using this to display its toughness towards China. Domestic politicians in the U.S. repeatedly hype up the "China threat theory," and targeting our student group shows Trump's tough stance against China. Thirdly, the Trump administration may fear China's technological progress and worry that these returning Chinese tech talents will help narrow the technology gap between China and the U.S.
Thus, Rubio targets Chinese students. However, through such actions, we can see that America is now extremely sensitive and lacks confidence. In fact, one of the reasons why American power is so strong is that it can absorb talent from various countries for its use. Now, America is closing its doors to us, which shows that America has lost its boldness in attracting talent from all over the world. In the short term, America has caused us some setbacks, but in the long run, America's competitiveness will only decline further. Now, America is increasingly becoming a closed-off country.
