Chinese STEM students harassed, repatriated by US border officials
China DailyRecently, four Chinese students who travelled to the United States to study and participate in academic conferences suffered from the US side's unwarranted harassment, interrogation and repatriation, sources said. "Mostly, these students were harassed and interrogated by the US side for more than 10 hours upon entering the country, and the longest time of being held was even up to 5 days, and ultimately, without exception, their visas were cancelled and they were repatriated," the sources said. The purpose of such an approach is to hold back China's scientific and technological development and maintain US scientific and technological hegemony, which "fully reflects the hegemonic, bullying nature of the US side, as well as its anxiety and lack of self-confidence in the realm of science and technology", the sources said. "Chinese students should assess the risk with great caution and think twice before going to the US to study," the sources said.
