BEIJING: China hopes the United States will act on US President Donald Trump’s commitment to welcome Chinese students, the foreign ministry said on Wednesday.
Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun, speaking at a regular press conference, also urged the US to stop “unprovoked harassment, interrogation, and deportation” of Chinese students.
Trump said on Tuesday that US colleges would struggle without Chinese students, amid a backlash from his base after he suggested he could let 600,000 Chinese college students into the country as part of trade talks with the economic rival.
The Trump administration had on August 18 revoked more than 6,000 student visas for overstays and breaking the law, including a small minority for “support for terrorism.’
