Rubio announced a policy to revoke visas for Chinese students linked to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields, emphasizing a need for heightened scrutiny of future visa applications from China and Hong Kong. A State Department official indicated that the policy aims to protect American interests, claiming that china has long exploited the U.S. visa system to steal intellectual property. Additionally, the article notes that the administration is pausing new student visa interviews to enhance social media screening and vetting processes.
