Trump Administration to Cancel Visas for Thousands of Chinese Graduate Students
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Trump administration has announced plans to cancel the visas of
thousands of Chinese graduate students studying in the United States.
The move would impact students who have studied at schools that have
links to the Chinese military. Republican lawmakers are also proposing
to bar all Chinese graduate students from studying science or technology
in the United States. Many educators have warned the moves could lead to
a new Red Scare on American campuses. Meanwhile, Britain is considering
offering a path to citizenship for over 300,000 residents of Hong Kong
if China moves ahead with implementing a new national security law on
the former British colony.
