Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the United States will “aggressively” revoke visas for Chinese students. “Under President Trump’s leadership, the U.S. State Department will work with the Department of Homeland Security to aggressively revoke visas for Chinese students, including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields,” Rubio stated in a press release. “We will also revise visa criteria to enhance scrutiny of all future visa applications from the People’s Republic of China and Hong Kong,” he added. #BREAKING: Marco Rubio just announced he will begin REVOKING student visas of Chinese students, including ones connected to the CCP LET’S GO! TAKING OUR COUNTRY BACK! pic.twitter.com/JEwr3t7bdI — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) May 28, 2025 Per CNN: The surprise announcement risks disrupting ongoing efforts by the US and China to de-escalate tensions, coming just weeks after both sides declared a 90-day truce over punishing tariffs on each other’s goods, and deepens the spiraling confrontation between President Donald Trump and the nation’s top universities. Rubio’s comments follow a series of extraordinary steps by the Trump administration to deter foreign students from studying in the US – from ordering embassies to pause new student visa appointments to revoking Harvard University’s ability to enroll international students. (A federal judge later halted the Harvard ban.) The latest move is set to spark consternation and outrage in China, the country of origin for almost a quarter of international students in US higher education. It’s also likely to deepen anxiety across American universities, where Chinese and other international students are a significant source of revenue. There are signs that Beijing has been caught off guard by the announcement. For much of Thursday, China’s state-controlled media remained largely silent on the news that will significantly impact the fate of hundreds of thousands of Chinese students. That changed when official comment eventually came from Mao Ning, a spokesperson for China’s foreign ministry, who accused the US of using ideology and national security as a “pretext” for the move.

In 2019, during Trump’s first term, China’s Ministry of Education warned students about visa issues in the U.S., with rising rejection rates and shortening of visas. Last year, the Chinese Foreign Ministry protested that a number of Chinese students were unfairly interrogated and sent home upon arrival at U.S. airports. Chinese state media has long hyped gun violence in the U.S. and violent protests during the pandemic, and portrayed the U.S. as a dangerous place that wasn’t safe for its citizens. The tense bilateral relationship has also meant that some Chinese students are opting to study in the U.K. or other countries over the U.S. after the pandemic.
