“This seriously harms the lawful rights and interests of the Chinese students and undermines normal people-to-people exchanges and educational cooperation between the two countries,” Wang said.
“We urge the United States to genuinely welcome Chinese students as it has said, withdraw the biased and discriminatory Proclamation 10043, and stop going after Chinese students in the United States in the name of national security,” Wang said.
China will continue to take necessary measures to defend Chinese citizens’ lawful rights and interests and remind its students heading for the United States to be mindful of such risks, the spokesperson added.
