Trump Reverses Stand on Chinese Students
By Reuters | 27 Aug, 2025
In an apparent reversal of his original stance, Trump pushes back against demands by his base to block Chinese students saying they are essential to the health of US universities.
China hopes the United States will act on U.S. 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 U.S. to stop "unprovoked harassment, interrogation, and deportation" of Chinese students.
Trump said on Tuesday that U.S. 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.
