While Trump initially supported revoking these visas, he later reversed his stance, suggesting they are beneficial for the U.S. The article argues that revoking these visas is a necessary measure for national security.<\/p>\n<p>2.**Enforcement of the TikTok Ban**: There are significant security risks associated with TikTok, which is owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, as it collects extensive user data. Although Trump has expressed a fondness for TikTok, he is urged to adhere to legislation requiring the sale of the app to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >mitigate potential national security threats<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>3. **Chinese Purchases of U.S. Land**: The article highlights concerns over Chinese entities purchasing U.S. farmland, especially near military bases, which poses risks of espionage and other national security issues.It calls on Trump to strengthen policies that would prevent such acquisitions.<\/p>\n<p>the article advocates for a more stringent policy towards china, including the enforcement of existing laws and the consideration of new regulations to safeguard U.S. interests.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Much like during his first administration, President Donald Trump has made confronting the increasingly aggressive Chinese Communist Party (CCP) a big part of his foreign policy agenda. And while the commander-in-chief has done a great deal so far &mdash; such as <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/category\/national-security-2\/military\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">prioritizing<\/a> U.S. military readiness and efficiency &mdash; there are several areas where he and his team can improve to better confront America&rsquo;s primary foreign adversary.<\/p>\n<h2>Rescind Chinese Student Visas<\/h2>\n<p>Whether Chinese students should be permitted to study at American universities has been a contentious question plaguing the Trump administration for the past several months. <\/p>\n<p>After the State Department <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/05\/29\/trump-admin-moves-to-revoke-u-s-student-visas-for-chinese-nationals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">announced<\/a> in late May that federal officials would begin &ldquo;aggressively&rdquo; revoking visas for these students, Trump came out weeks later reversing course. The president emphasized that such a policy is &ldquo;good for our country,&rdquo; and added that he&rsquo;s &ldquo;in favor of having them stay.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>While it&rsquo;s possible the president has <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/06\/13\/trump-is-wrong-america-shouldnt-be-admitting-chinese-nationals-to-its-universities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">viewed<\/a> Chinese student visas as nothing more than bargaining chips to be used in trade negotiations with Beijing, allowing hundreds of thousands of Chinese nationals to study at U.S. academic institutions every year has presented notable security issues. <\/p>\n<p>U.S. government agencies and Chinese affairs specialists have <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/06\/13\/trump-is-wrong-america-shouldnt-be-admitting-chinese-nationals-to-its-universities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">raised concerns<\/a> about the Chinese Communist Party&rsquo;s abuse of America&rsquo;s student visa program to collect valuable research and intellectual property and conduct various forms of espionage. In the past few years alone, numerous Chinese nationals studying in the U.S. have been apprehended by federal officials for committing such actions. <\/p>\n<p>And while not every Chinese national studying in America is a willing accomplice of the CCP, China&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cna.org\/quick-looks\/2023\/China-national-security-laws-implications-beyond-borders.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">national security laws<\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinalawtranslate.com\/en\/national-intelligence-law-of-the-p-r-c-2017\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">require<\/a>&nbsp;<em>all<\/em>&nbsp;Chinese citizens and organizations to &ldquo;support, assist, and cooperate&rdquo; with so-called &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-shouldnt-admit-chinese-nationals-to-u-s-colleges\/\" title=\"Trump Shouldn&#039;t Admit ... To U.S. Colleges\">national intelligence efforts&#038;rdquo<\/a>; and give the state the power to demand &ldquo;relevant organs, organizations, and citizens provide necessary support, assistance, and cooperation.&rdquo; Even if they wanted to, these students lack the power to resist any demands the Chinese government may make of them.  <\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration&rsquo;s initial decision to revoke Chinese student visas was &mdash; and still is &mdash; the correct one. Not only should the president support that policy, but he should also encourage passage of previously <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/03\/13\/house-republicans-move-to-block-chinese-nationals-from-obtaining-u-s-student-visas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">introduced<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moody.senate.gov\/press-releases\/senator-ashley-moody-introduces-stop-ccp-visas-act-to-crack-down-on-foreign-espionage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">legislation<\/a> to forcefully cut off Beijing&rsquo;s access to America&rsquo;s academic system.<\/p>\n<h2>Enforce the TikTok Ban<\/h2>\n<p>Similar to the visa situation, Trump hasn&rsquo;t been shy about <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2024\/12\/16\/us-news\/donald-trump-has-warm-spot-in-my-heart-for-tiktok-as-app-store-ban-looms-in-january\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">discussing<\/a> the &ldquo;warm spot in [his] heart for TikTok.&rdquo; The president previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/video\/6366072944112\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">credited<\/a> his embrace of the platform for helping him win over young voters in the 2024 election. <\/p>\n<p>While Trump may be personally fond of it, the social media company&rsquo;s ability to operate in the U.S. comes with significant security risks. <\/p>\n<p>As Federalist Senior Contributor Helen Raleigh <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/07\/05\/big-tech-should-ban-invasive-tiktok-app-that-mines-personal-data-for-china\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wrote<\/a> in these pages, <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/tiktok\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TikTok<\/a> &mdash; which is owned by the Chinese company ByteDance &mdash; &ldquo;collects an enormous amount of data on its users, including IP addresses, browsing history, and biometric information.&rdquo; That&rsquo;s especially concerning given that, as Raleigh noted, China&rsquo;s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawfareblog.com\/beijings-new-national-intelligence-law-defense-offense\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">national intelligence law<\/a> requires &ldquo;all Chinese tech companies [to] turn over any data they collect if the government demands it.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><strong>[READ:[READ:<a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/01\/17\/trump-shouldnt-waste-his-political-capital-on-saving-tiktok\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Trump Shouldn&rsquo;t Waste His Political Capital On &lsquo;Saving&rsquo; TikTok<\/a>]<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In April 2024, Congress <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/tiktok-ban-congress-bill-1c48466df82f3684bd6eb21e61ebcb8d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">passed<\/a> legislation forcing ByteDance to sell TikTok or face a ban in the United States.

If ByteDance refuses to sell it to an American buyer, TikTok deserves to be banned. <\/p>\n<h2>Ban Chinese Purchases of Critical U.S. Land<\/h2>\n<p>The CCP&rsquo;s espionage efforts don&rsquo;t stop at social media apps and America&rsquo;s classrooms, however.
