China has sharply criticized the U.S. for revoking visas of Chinese students, calling the move a 'politically motivated' overreach that undermines global education ties. 🌍 Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning condemned the decision during a press briefing Thursday, labeling it discriminatory and harmful to cross-cultural exchanges.
🗣️ 'Damaging Trust'
Mao accused the U.S. of using national security concerns as a 'pretext' to target students, stressing that the action 'exposes the hypocrisy of America's claims to openness.' She emphasized that the move disrupts academic collaboration and harms the rights of Chinese students pursuing opportunities abroad.
📚 Education vs. Politics
The backlash highlights growing tensions between the two nations, with education caught in the crossfire. Over 300,000 Chinese students study in the U.S., contributing significantly to universities and research. Critics argue visa restrictions could stifle innovation and deepen mistrust.
China has formally protested the decision, urging the U.S. to 'correct its mistakes.' Meanwhile, students and academics worldwide are watching closely as geopolitics reshapes the future of global learning. 🧑🎓✨
