Original Title: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs urges the United States to reconsider the issue of Chinese students going to the United States to protect their legitimate rights and interests
The spokesperson of the US State Department recently responded to the US’s rejection of visas for Chinese students to study in the US, stating that the relevant measures, in accordance with Presidential Decree No. 10043, only affect less than 2% of Chinese applicants. The US welcomes international students, including China, to the US ,What is China’s comment?
Wang Wenbin said that the current U.S. government has repeatedly said that it attaches importance to openness to international students, but continues to regard this prejudiced and discriminatory presidential order as a standard. This is completely inconsistent with the United States’ self-proclaimed concept of openness and freedom and the attitude of welcoming Chinese students. Reversing in history.
Wang Wenbin pointed out: “The United States claims that the above measures only affect less than 2% of Chinese applicants. However, according to the report of Georgetown University, it is estimated that 3000 to 5000 Chinese graduate students in related disciplines who intend to study in the United States will receive No. 10043. The influence of the presidential decree accounts for 16% to 27% of the total number of people.” We have also seen a large number of students who were affected by Presidential Decree No. 10043 spontaneously set up websites to talk about their experience of being denied visas and call for the maintenance of academic freedom. It is the voice that the US should face squarely.
Wang Wenbin emphasized that people-to-people exchanges are the foundation of China-US relations, and academic education and scientific and technological exchanges are important parts of China-US people-to-people exchanges. We urge the United States to formally and reconsider this issue, stop unwarranted restrictions on Chinese students, and protect them. Legal rights. (CCTV reporter Zhu Ruomeng Yang Yi)
