Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

The U.S. State Department, led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, announced plans to aggressively revoke visas for Chinese students, particularly those with ties to the Communist Party. This decision, driven by concerns over espionage and intellectual property theft, affects nearly 300,000 Chinese students, who represent 24.6% of all international students in the U.S. The new policy includes enhanced screening measures, such as in-depth interviews and social media checks.
