Trump Administration to "Aggressively" Revoke Visas of Chinese Students
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned the government will start
"aggressively" revoking the visas of Chinese students, one day after the
Trump administration announced it's halting the processing of visas for
foreign students. Rubio said people with links to the Chinese Communist
Party - China's sole and ruling party - would be especially targeted, as
well as people studying in "critical fields." Chinese nationals
represent the second-largest proportion of overseas students in the U.S.

Meanwhile, Trump told reporters Wednesday Harvard should cap its
acceptance of international students at "around 15 percent." Last week,
Trump revoked Harvard's certification for admitting students from
overseas.
