On May 23, Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning presided over a regular press conference.

Q: It is reported that the US government announced on the 22nd that it had cancelled the student and exchange scholar program qualifications obtained by Harvard University and prohibited the school from recruiting international students. According to a statement issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on the same day, Secretary of Homeland Security Nome announced the decision. According to this decision, in addition to being unable to recruit international students, existing foreign students must transfer schools or lose their legal status, the statement said. Considering that Chinese students account for 20% of Harvard international students, how does the Chinese Foreign Ministry view this move by the US government?

Answer: Sino-US education cooperation is mutually beneficial. China has always opposed the politicization of educational cooperation. The relevant US practices will only damage the image and international credibility of the United States. China will firmly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of overseas Chinese students and scholars.
