A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson has called on the U.S. to rethink its approach to Chinese students studying in the United States. Spokesperson Mao Ning pointed out that these students account for nearly one-quarter of the international student community, playing an essential role in fostering cross-cultural exchange and innovation. 🤝
Recent reports indicate that a U.S. House politician sent letters to six U.S. universities seeking information on Chinese students due to "national security" concerns. Mao Ning urged the U.S. side to stop overstretching the national security concept and to safeguard the legitimate rights of Chinese students.
The emphasis on educational cooperation highlights how open and respectful academic exchanges benefit both sides—enhancing economic prosperity, scientific advancement, and mutual cultural understanding. Let’s celebrate policies that build bridges, not walls!
