US Expanding Restrictions on Chinese Students

Lin Yang

   WASHINGTON - U.S. officials are considering broader restrictions
   against Chinese students attending American schools, as part of a
   deepening standoff between the two countries.

   Last week, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said he hopes that China's
   government-funded "Confucius Institutes," which have branches on
   American university campuses, will all be shut down by the end of the
   year.

   "I think everyone's coming to see the risk associated with them,"
   Pompeo said [1]in an interview with the Fox Business Network, accusing
   the Chinese-government funded institutes of working to recruit "spies
   and collaborators" at U.S. colleges.
