President of the United States said that Sino-US relations are friendly and welcomes Chinese students to study in the US!
The President of the United States has reversed his position, preparing to abandon his government's previous active plan to cancel Chinese students' visas, and clearly stated that this move was taken at a time when Sino-US relations are improving.
In May, Secretary of State Rubio announced that Chinese students' visas would be revoked, but today, the president overturned his own statement: "We are getting along very well with China, and I think it is very insulting to say that students cannot come here. I like their students coming here, I like students from other countries coming here. Do you know what would happen if they don't do this? Our university system would collapse quickly."
The president said he is proud to have Chinese students in the US, because Chinese students account for nearly a quarter of international students in the US, and Chinese and other international students are an important source of income for colleges and universities.
The president explained his change of position, saying that this obvious reversal was the result of improved Sino-US relations: "We are just getting along very well with China, which is different from our previous relationship. They respect us again, and I respect them, the relationship is very good."
