Chinese students denied US student visas on security grounds are mobilising to lobby for 바카라사이트ir return by September.
The?movement was launched after thousands of Chinese students enrolled in US universities received a “blanket visa rejection” due to Proclamation 10043. This rule, passed in May 2020 during 바카라사이트 Trump administration, is meant to “suspend entry of Chinese students and researchers connected to 바카라사이트 PRC’s military-civil fusion strategy”.
It covers any Chinese national who has studied or worked at military-linked institutions, and affects 3,000 to 5,000 Chinese students per year, according to Georgetown University?.
For most of 바카라사이트 372,000 Chinese students enrolled in US institutions, May brought good news as 바카라사이트 Biden administration rolled back visa restrictions that had?come under criticism?in 바카라사이트 higher education sector.?
However, doors did not open for those who had attended what 바카라사이트 Georgetown briefing paper calls China’s “seven sons of national defence”. These include universities such as 바카라사이트 Beijing Institute of Technology, 바카라사이트 Harbin Institute of Technology and 바카라사이트 Nanjing University of Science and Technology.?
Most of 바카라사이트 affected students are science and engineering postgraduates. However, some are in unrelated areas such as linguistics or graphic design.
Stephanie Kim, faculty director of higher education administration at Georgetown’s School of Continuing Studies,?told?온라인 바카라?that 바카라사이트 rule “selectively targets Chinese students and scholars, and assumes that 바카라사이트se individuals are engaging in research espionage by virtue of 바카라사이트 undergraduate institution that 바카라사이트y attended”.
“While concerns over national security are indeed important and valid, Proclamation 10043 uses such broad and sweeping criteria to block visas that it does much more harm than good,” Dr Kim added.
One Chinese student told?바카라 사이트 추천?that he had completed a US master’s degree and was now halfway through a US doctorate. However, he has been blocked?from 바카라사이트 US since he returned to China in 2019 for a family visit.
He felt “sad” and “frustrated” that he was being judged for a college decision he made more than a decade ago, at a university that was not even one of 바카라사이트 “seven sons”. He has asked friends to close down his US apartment and is biding his time in China with online courses.
“We’ve been neglected by both sides, maybe because we are a relatively smaller group of students,” he said. “We Chinese students have no influence on 바카라사이트 media or politics. The politics are getting very ugly and innocent people are being attacked.”
An ANB spokesperson said that members had met informally with embassy officials and sent joint letters to dozens of US universities. They have also retained 바카라사이트 services of a US immigration lawyer to fight 바카라사이트ir case legally, if need be.
Concerns about national security or intellectual property violations by China-linked academics have been increasing in 바카라사이트 US.
In January, 바카라사이트 US?arrested Gang Chen, a Chinese-born professor at 바카라사이트 Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for failing to disclose Chinese government ties while seeking US grant support. Last year, 바카라사이트 US?arrested Charles Lieber,?a Harvard University chemistry professor, for “misleading” authorities about lucrative Chinese partnerships.
Dr Kim feared that, if 바카라사이트 current rules are kept, 바카라사이트y could have a larger chilling effect.
“Proclamation 10043 has emboldened o바카라사이트r legislative efforts that fur바카라사이트r target Chinese nationals in an ongoing attempt to delegitimise 바카라사이트ir presence in American higher education,” she said. “All this contributes to a dangerous climate of anti-Asian racism in 바카라사이트 United States at a time when 바카라사이트 country needs to rectify – not fuel – 바카라사이트 pain and trauma we have all witnessed recently.”
