Recent moves by U.S. officials have stirred up major concerns in the global education community. On May 28, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced visa cancellations aimed at Chinese students, and Harvard’s Security and Exchange Visitor Program was revoked—leaving many to feel that studying in the U.S. now seems like "the wrong choice."
Diana Mutz, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, shared her worries in an exclusive interview with CGTN’s Tian Wei. She emphasized that American research and education heavily rely on Chinese students. With this shift, uncertainty is mounting and global trust is at stake, affecting everything from tech innovation to cross-border trade. 😟
For young tech enthusiasts and early professionals across South and Southeast Asia, international collaboration is key to sparking creativity and driving progress. As policies reshape academic landscapes, staying informed and engaged is more important than ever. Let’s keep the conversation rolling and watch how these changes ripple across our interconnected world!
