A US congressional panel requested six universities to provide detailed data on Chinese students enrolled in advanced science and technology programs, alleging national security risks from Beijing's integration of its students into American research. In response, China’s Foreign Ministry urged the US to respect the rights of these students, citing their significant contributions to the US economy. Despite universities benefiting financially from Chinese students, lawmakers worry about potential risks associated with their involvement in sensitive research, framing the student visa system as a security threat.
Moolenaar alleged that Beijing is embedding students in top US research programmes to gain access to sensitive technology, describing the student visa system as a Trojan Horse.
Mao Ning emphasized the contribution of Chinese students to US economic prosperity and technological development, urging the US to respect their rights and interests.
Moolenaar accused university administrators of compromising US research for higher tuition revenue, highlighting concern over national security due to the presence of Chinese students.
Mao Ning pointed out that Chinese students constitute about 25% of all foreign students in the US, serving as a vital funding source for universities.
