The U.S. State Department stated that it aims to prevent the misuse of American universities and protect U.S. research from exploitation by the Chinese government.
Lainey, a 24-year-old postgraduate student from Beijing, is among many Chinese students affected by the U.S. government's recent visa crackdown. She was preparing to start her PhD in sociology at the University of California but is now stuck in limbo, waiting for the visa process to resume. Like many others, she feels helpless and frustrated by the tightening policies.
This crackdown is part of broader immigration restrictions under the Trump administration and has added to rising tensions between the U.S. and China, especially in the context of an ongoing trade war. Chinese students make up a significant portion of international students in the U.S., especially in STEM fields, and contribute billions of dollars to the American economy.
Due to visa delays, students like Lainey are considering deferring their studies or looking at alternative destinations such as Europe, Hong Kong, or Singapore. Experts warn that the policy could have long-term effects, such as damaging the reputation of U.S. universities and causing a brain drain, as talented students choose other countries for their education and careers.
Chinese media have criticized the policy as discriminatory, with state outlets calling it a form of “educational witch-hunt” and comparing it to McCarthyism. Lainey says if delays persist for years, her perception of studying in the U.S. may change entirely. “If I can’t even get a visa,” she says, “I’ll have no choice but to go somewhere else.”
