https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/trump-defends-u-turn-chinese-142802038.htmlUS President Donald Trump has defended his decision to issue 600,000 Chinese student visas, despite a backlash from some supporters.
He told the Daily Caller on Sunday that it would be "insulting" to ban them, and said his move would benefit smaller universities.
The president is reversing the hard line his administration has taken on this for months, as trade talks with China continue.

Trump has defended that position by arguing that Chinese students bring money to the US economy and that denying them visas would weaken relations between the two countries.
"I have a very good relationship with [Chinese] President Xi. I think it's very insulting to a country when you say you're not going to take your students," Trump told the Daily Caller, a right-wing news outlet.
"You know, I get along with China," he added. "China's paying us a lot of money right now. They're paying us hundreds of millions of dollars."
EXCERPT
Since when has anybody been concerned about insulting the ChiComs? And it seems like all that Trump is concerned about is the $$$$$ that the ChiComs are paying for colleges and universities to enroll their spies and saboteurs.
