At a press briefing, the Chinese mainland's foreign ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun slammed the U.S. House Select Committee on China's report on education exchange, calling it baseless and politically driven. 📢
Guo argued the report spread false information and unfairly targeted normal cooperation between the two countries. He said China has formally protested the probe, which could disrupt student mobility and academic partnerships that benefit everyone. 🌏🎓
According to Guo, academic exchange between China and the U.S. is a win-win: it fosters cultural understanding and builds skills. Whether it's Mumbai coders joining Silicon Valley hackathons or Manila innovators studying AI in Beijing labs, these programs connect young minds across borders. 🔬🤝
He warned that some U.S. politicians are stretching national security too far and using it as an excuse to block cooperation. Guo called on the U.S. to honor its commitment97echoed by President Trump97to welcome Chinese students, rather than letting politics get in the way. 🇺🇸🏫
China will keep a close eye on U.S. actions and is ready to defend its interests. For now, all eyes are on both sides: will they double down on diplomacy or drift further apart? 👀⚖️
