The US State Department has announced that it will enhance scrutiny of visa applications from China and Hong Kong amid a broader effort to revoke visas for Chinese students. Secretary of State Marco Rubio indicated this move aims to target students with ties to the Chinese Communist Party or those in sensitive fields. Alongside visa revocation, the Trump administration has temporarily halted processing for new student visas and intends to introduce social media vetting for applicants, framing these measures as protective of American interests.
Under the new policy, Chinese students connected to the Communist Party or studying in key fields will face aggressive visa revocation as part of a broader crackdown.
The US State Department announced its intention to enhance scrutiny of future visa applications from China and Hong Kong, revising criteria to focus on security.
The Trump administration's measures include a temporary suspension of foreign student visa processing as they look to implement stricter immigration policies.
The new visa policies are framed as a way to put America First, reflecting an ongoing trend of tightening immigration controls in the name of national security.
