2065438+2008 Latest Situation of Studying Environment in the United States Miller suggested that China citizens should be prohibited from studying in the United States.

Earlier this year, White House hawks encouraged US President Trump to stop providing student visas to China citizens, but the proposal was shelved for fear of its economic and diplomatic impact. According to the latest report of the Financial Times, the key person pushing this proposal is White House assistant Stephen Miller.

Miller).

The Financial Times published a long article on the 2nd, saying that four people familiar with internal discussions said that while the Trump administration was debating how to deal with espionage in China, Miller urged Trump and other officials to prevent China citizens from studying in the United States. Miller has always been a key figure in the formulation of the Trump administration's tough immigration policy.

In February last year, the White House issued a national security strategy, saying that it would "review visa procedures to reduce the economic theft of non-traditional intelligence collectors" and consider imposing restrictions on foreign students in science-related fields. Since then, the debate about overseas students in China has intensified. Three people familiar with the matter said that although the debate mainly focused on espionage, Miller believed that his plan would also harm the interests of elite universities, whose faculty and students have always been highly critical of Trump.

At a meeting in the Oval Office this spring, Miller met with opponents of the Trump administration, including Terry branstad, former governor of Iowa and current US ambassador to China.

Branstad) reached a settlement.

According to four people familiar with the matter, before meeting with branstad in the Oval Office, branstad argued that Miller's plan had a much greater impact on smaller universities (including Iowa) than wealthy Ivy League schools.

Officials of the US Embassy in Beijing also put forward a broader economic argument, that is, most states in the United States enjoy a service trade surplus with China, partly because of the cost of students in China.

According to informed sources, branstad succeeded in persuading the President that Miller's proposal was too harsh. Trump once looked at his ambassador and joked, "Not everyone can go to Harvard University or Princeton University, right, Terry?" A spokesman for branstad declined to comment.

SarahSanders, White House spokeswoman, said: The US government has the final say on institutions, White House principles and presidential agreements. It has the support of relevant stakeholders.
