The United States restricted the entry of 12 Chinese citizens who built islands in the South China Sea. Why did the United States do this?

According to foreign media reports, the U.S. State Department announced on the 26th local time that it would impose visa restrictions on a number of Chinese citizens involved in the construction of islands and reefs in the South China Sea. There is no clear regulation on the specific number of people, but it is said that 12 Chinese citizens have been restricted from entering the United States. The reason for this is because these people help the Chinese military build islands in the South China Sea. In the past, when people watched international news, it seemed that these had nothing to do with China. However, since Trump took office, restrictions on the entry of foreign residents are not uncommon.

Now that the U.S. election is approaching, Trump can “attack” China more and more powerfully. To divert attention, many foreign politicians will resort to attacking foreign countries to save the situation when the country is in dire straits. Nowadays, the anti-China trend is becoming more and more powerful, and it has been trying to "encircle China". Doing so is simply "unreasonable". Regarding the South China Sea issue, relevant Chinese authorities have long stated that the South China Sea Islands are China's inherent territory, and there are no basic problems when we carry out facility construction on our own territory. The United States also builds oil production platforms in the surrounding waters. It is true that only state officials are allowed to set fires, and ordinary people are not allowed to light lamps. According to international law, this is a normal right of a sovereign country.

The South China Sea is located in Asia and the United States is located in North America. There is not much relationship between the two sides. However, the United States has always regarded itself as the "world policeman" and will interfere in the internal affairs of other countries at every turn. It is not surprising to do so. In fact, the restriction on the number of people entering China is not limited to these people. However, it is difficult for others to agree with Trump's approach. The United States itself is a country of immigrants, and even Trump's own mother and wife are foreigners.

Since the outbreak of the epidemic in China, the U.S. government has introduced a series of temporary entry restrictions for foreigners since February. Among them, many international students come to the United States, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for them to enter the United States. The Chinese Consulate General in New York reminds that Chinese personnel in the United States or planning to come to the United States in the near future should pay attention to relevant entry restrictions.
