President Donald Trump announced the United States is prepared to accept up to 600,000 Chinese students as part of a trade deal his administration is trying to strike with China.

“We’re going to allow, it’s very important, 600,000 students,” Trump told reporters Monday at the White House. “We’re going to get along with China. But it’s a different relationship that we have now with China.”

IMHO there should be no Chi-Com nationals in the country, much less in our schools.

That's not America First and I'm honest enough with myself to say so.

There is no such thing as a "Chinese student". They are all Chinese spies. China wouldn't let any of their people come here but for that.
 
Oh well; you win some you lose some. I don't know all the details yet but if all are MONITORED and spies are weeded out (I know; you can read that 600,00 spies) then it might end up OK.

No, this is horrible. I don't get what Trump is doing lately. He's become another donor chaser perhaps.

Why in the hell would China insist on America accepting all of these students?

You are arming your enemy. I wonder how Gordon Chang is going to react and he is very well informed on China.

UVA already looked like Chi-Com central between classes.

Read between the lines. All Trump said is "up to" 600,000 students. All that means is no more than that OR LESS.

We don't yet know the terms. ONE student would meet that requirement.

Trump could be reeling Xi in with bait then planning the ol' switcheroo, a la Trump.

Stay tuned.

If there are 600k allowed China will find a way to send 650k.

He doesn't seem to get it and is sinking his legacy which he built in his first term, China is akin to Russia in the 1980s. If China has this much leverage over America, we should all just kiss our asses goodbye.
 
If true, he may have cost himself the midterms, wow.

The Dems may even get in on the action with the criticism. This is a MASSIVE pandoras box.
approximately 277,400 Chinese students in the U.S. during the 2023-2024 academic year, according to government statistics. This number represents a continued decline from the 2019-2020 academic year, when the figure was a peak of around 372,532,

AI:

Evidently there are more INDIAN students now in the US; that's a huge Brain Drain if the US gets to keep the "Best of the Best" IF they are properly vetted of course. But no; the mid-terms are pretty safe imo.

Interesting.

Somebody slipped him some cash, probably one or more of the big tech industries.
 
It isn’t a “deal” just yet. And it is one thing to allow genuine students, like med students for instance, to come here. It would be far more questionable to allow so many supposed engineering “students” such visas.

The “devil is in the details” which we don’t yet know. But I’d agree that this seems like a dubious course. Our libs and progressives and Democratics are likely to love it. And that, too, will be a significant tell that it is highly suspect.
