Trump administration orders extra vetting of all visa applicants linked to Harvard University

In addition to monitoring online activity, Lewis told 60 Minutes that Chinese intelligence agents have also infiltrated college campuses in the U.S. This corroborates a report this month from the Stanford Review, which alleges that spies from the Chinese Communist Party are recruiting students at the California campus.

"I've had Chinese students tell me, 'I couldn't talk in class because the fellow sitting over there in the corner would report back.'"

“recruiting” and being are two different things

And if this xo spikes as big as you claim why isn’t Trump coming down on other schools? why does he have a heart on for Harvard? Why not say University of Texas, or Alabama University?
 
Because it is self interest understood

First off the U.S. is not at war with China, second, all Chinese students are not Commies, and lastly, it is the best and brightest who are admitted to study, and their research is shared for the benefit of everyone

The US wasn't at war with the Soviet Union, Germany, or Japan but still definitely at odds in a political rivalry with them. You further have zero proof that their research is shared or benefits everyone. Sure, not all Chinese are communists, not all Germans in the 1930's were Nazis, and not all Japanese at that time were imperialist warmongers. But shouldn't we err on the side of caution here?
And you are aware that Trump has business interests with Chinese, his biggest “guests” at his recent crypto conference were Chinese, do you recommend he cut all ties with them?
No, but he should be careful about what ties he has with them at the same time. For example, I don't see where we should be letting Chinese students come to the US to study in fields critical to military applications like aerospace engineering or computer science with the intent to return to China once they complete their degree work.

The “US wasn’t at war with Germany or Japan?” Has to be a typing error

The U.S. was in a Cold War with the USSR, your not suggesting that in any way compares to out current difficulties with China are you? If it is, you better go back and reread the history of the Cold War, for starters, nobody had Russian businessmen over to the house to sell them currency products the owner was pushing

And I don’t think the overwhelming majority of foreign students at Harvard are studying fields for military application, and you are aware that are close to a thousand American students studying in China, you think they are all spy’s for the U.S.?

The US wasn't at war with Germany or Japan from 1935 to 1941. I suppose you think the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor too.

And we're not with China? I guess you have no idea what's going on in maritime Asia at the moment.

Engineering, science, medicine, computers, mathematics...
 
WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Wednesday the U.S. will begin revoking the visas of some Chinese students, including those studying in “critical fields.”

China is the second-largest country of origin for international students in the United States, behind only India. In the 2023-2024 school year, more than 270,000 international students were from China, making up roughly a quarter of all foreign students in the United States.

You are aware that there are 270,000 Chinese students in America and many are at Harvard.

Although there are many Chinese students at Harvard et al having close ties with the CCP, and are definitely spying on and retrieving vital information to be sent back to their CCP masters, methinks that the fact that many of the American students being run by mostly leftist
professors who are teaching them their Marxist/anti-Semite/anti-American agenda are as much a threat, if not more than these foreign
born CCP informants.
