Chinese media criticizes US think tank report on student visas

A report by the US-based Centre for Immigration Studies (CIS) has sparked criticism from Chinese media, which accuses the organization of politicizing education and recycling unsubstantiated claims about Chinese students posing security risks. The CIS report, analyzing US State Department data, indicated a significant drop in student visas issued to Chinese and Indian nationals, suggesting this could benefit American national security by reducing risks of technology transfer and espionage. Chinese state media, including the Global Times, countered that the visa decline is a result of US political actions rather than uncovered espionage, highlighting increased scrutiny and interview suspensions as contributing factors.
