Recent decisions from the U.S. are shaking up the world of education. On May 28, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced visa cancellations aimed at Chinese students, creating uncertainty among hopeful scholars. 😮✈️
In an exclusive interview with CGTN's Tian Wei, Diana Mutz from the University of Pennsylvania explained that fear is rapidly spreading. Many now see studying in the U.S. as "the wrong choice." Mutz emphasizes that American research and academia have long benefited from the contributions of Chinese students, and this shift may have lasting consequences.
The move, coupled with Harvard's setback with the Security and Exchange Visitor Program, signals a broader trend of unpredictability that could erode global trust in U.S. institutions. As policy changes ripple through both trade and academia, experts warn that the future of international education could be at risk. 🎓🌍
Stay tuned as we follow this evolving story and its impact on the global research landscape.
