WTF!!

Trump says US will accept 600,000 Chinese students as part of trade deal
Story by Naomi Lim, Washington Examiner


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."

Trump made the announcement ahead of a bilateral meeting with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung after he was asked when he would sit down with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

"I'd like to meet him this year. President Xi would like me to come to China," he said. "We're taking a lot of money in from China because of the tariffs and different things.… It's a much better relationship economically than it was before with [former President Joe] Biden. I mean, they just took him to the cleaners."

The Trump administration has clamped down on the number of student visa holders, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio promising in May to "aggressively" revoke the visas of Chinese students, suggesting that suspected connections to the Chinese Communist Party would be one criterion.

Trump in June previewed the U.S.'s acceptance of Chinese students but did not provide details regarding the number. It is unclear what window Trump would set for admissions. As of last year, more than 270,000 Chinese students were enrolled at U.S. universities.

I seriously doubt it.

Instead, they will be filled by Americans displaced from the top 85%, in a ripple effect.

600,000 spies

He knows that China is #1 for industrial espionage, right?

[Sighlass]

Yeah, in the long run, the "IN" gate by far outpaces the "OUT".... Like I (and several in this thread) pointed out several times before, the rate of deportations is a joke.... I imagine they are still crossing the border faster (1000%) than we deport them.

China should not be allowed to come and steal at will.... and those Americans that steal info and sell it to China should be hung and flung too.

He needs to negotiate in private.  Not every move needs to be a headline.

Ingraham pushes back against Trump’s commerce secretary over Chinese students in US
August 26, 2025 | Hailey Gomez

Fox’s Laura Ingraham pushed back Monday on Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick over President Donald Trump’s decision to allow 600,000 students from China to study in the U.S., asking how it would be putting America first.

During an Oval Office event with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung that same day, Trump announced the approval, stressing the importance of maintaining a relationship with China. After playing a clip of Trump’s remarks, Ingraham, on her show “The Ingraham Angle,” pressed Lutnick on how the decision reflects “putting America first.”

“Well, the President’s point of view is that what would happen if you didn’t have those 600,000 students is that you’d empty them from the top, all the students would go up to better schools, and the bottom 15% of universities and colleges would go out of business in America. So his view is he’s taking a rational economic view, which is classic Donald Trump, looking at higher education and saying until we modify — ” Lutnick said before Ingraham jumped in.

“That just helps Harvard, UCLA, and UC Berkeley. Y’all helping those schools. Why?” Ingraham asked. “They’re basically factories of anti-American propaganda. Now they’re getting a big influx of cash because of the Chinese students. I know President Trump has always been very pro-Chinese student. I just don’t understand it. For the life of me, those are 600,000 spots that American kids won’t get.”

In June, Trump suggested that having students from China attend U.S. schools would be beneficial, but cautioned that the country needs to be careful and “watch” which students are allowed in. His comments came after he announced on Truth Social that the U.S. and China reached an agreement to allow Chinese students to attend American colleges and universities.

@XVanFleet
There won’t be 600,000 Chinese students coming anymore. With China’s economy collapsing and college graduates facing bleak job prospects, fewer parents have the money nor are willing to make such an investment.
Those who still can are mostly the children of CCP elites—and that is the group we should be most concerned about.

I suspect however many Chinese students are permitted to attend U.S. colleges, they'll be wholly funded by the Chinese government, not mom and dad.

That 600,000 seats that won't go to American students.

Importing Chinese Communism and Communists is not America First.

[BobfromWB]

If we are only mass deporting 1,000 illegals each day but allowing 600,000 Chinese spies to come to our country, how can we call them mass deportations?

Do the math. We will never get rid of the millions who came in under Biden.

Oh oh. She's letting the cat out of the bag again.

Plus, with double the number of Chinese "students" entering this country then in 2024, how many more of this doubled amount will help fulfill the longstanding CCP dream of colonizing America with Han Chinese?

47 will apparently do anything for money

47 apparently does not understand China any better than he does Russia. Every Chinese that leaves China is vetted and approved by the Party, including and especially "students". The much-valued "donations" are from Party funds, not individuals.

So now 47 is in the position of taking money indirectly from the CCP, in exchange for allowing the "students" to send important data and information back to China, as well as furthering the long-standing dream of the CCP leadership to colonize America with party-approved Han Chinese.

[BobfromWB]

We already are, but mostly its environmental laws, greenie lawyers etc that stand in the way of more than one major company in the US mining and processing.

Confusion over Whether Trump Admin Will Admit 600,000 Chinese Students

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says the administration will admit 600,000  foreign students to help lower-tier colleges avoid bankruptcy, and will also upgrade the immigration process to favor higher-earning migrants.

https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2025/08/26/howard-lutnick-on-trump-admin-will-admit-600000-chinese-students/

[DefiantMassRINO]

So, the American Government will give a 'hand up' to rich foreigners, but not to everyday Americans? 

Sounds like colonization and foreign 'sponsorship' (Government subsidization) of inefficient institutions of higher learning that benefits elites, but not average Americans.

Why are colleges too (whatever) to fail?  Why is the United States Government choosing rich foreigners to be winners over ordinary Americans?  To preserve the jobs of bloviating elite professors and administrators?

I don't think MAGA's voted for such h0r$e$sh!t.

Trump ignites conservative backlash after opening door to 600,000 Chinese students: 'What is this madness?'
Conservative voices oppose proposal to allow 600,000 Chinese nationals into American universities
By Cameron Arcand Fox News
Published August 26, 2025 3:17pm EDT

 President Donald Trump’s plan to allow 600,000 Chinese student visas to be issued sparked backlash from the right on Monday and Tuesday.

"I hear so many stories that we're not going to allow their students," Trump told reporters as trade talks with China are ongoing.

"We're going to allow their students to come in. It's very important, 600,000 students. It's very important. But we're going to get along with China," he continued.

Trump expanded on his comments during a Cabinet meeting at the White House on Tuesday.

"I think it's very insulting to say students can't come here because they'll go out and start building schools and they'll be able to survive it. But I like that their students come here. I like that other countries' students come here. And you know what would happen if they didn't? Our college system would go to hell very quickly. And it wouldn't be the top colleges, so it'd be colleges that struggle on the bottom. And you take out 300,000 or 600,000 students out of the system," Trump said.

"I like having, and I told this to President Xi that we're honored to have their students here. Now, with that, we check in with careful and we see who's there," he added.

Trump's idea to accept more Chinese students appears to contradict earlier admin policy

Earlier, administration officials had planned to revoke Chinese student visas over security concerns following repeated warnings from lawmakers, intelligence agencies about how China exploits the university programs.

Any and all Chinese nationals can be comprised the Chi-coms, especially if they still have family in China.

The Chi-coms use threats against family members in China to motivate Chinese nationals in America to spy for them.

Instead of educating rich foreign elites, the US Government should be focsued on education and skills development for Americans.

Let foreign universities deal with the Chi-coms and the Islamo-fascists.

Exactly. Most likely won't be true and trained spies, but they will be strong armed into it anyway.

America doesn't need a trade deal with China.  America needs to break or diversify its supply chain depenedencies away from the Chi-coms.

True again. China uses slave labor and a zillion other shady practices, and all our money does is fund their war machine rather than enriching their citizens, except for a very few.
