Trump Administration Tightens Immigration Rules on International Students, Especially from China

The Trump administration is piling on new immigration restrictions targeting international students, especially those from China. On May 28, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced aggressive visa revocations and tighter vetting for Chinese students, especially in “critical fields” linked to national security.

A day earlier, the State Department also paused all new student visa interviews, adding uncertainty and stress for aspiring students. Experts warn the changes could be subjective and harmful to U.S. universities, which rely heavily on Chinese and Indian graduate students.

Critics argue the crackdown may hurt America’s tech edge, as Chinese students often lead in AI and engineering research. Could this reshape the future of U.S. higher education?
