Trump Doubles Down on Plan to Bring In 600,000 Chinese College Spies
Donald Trump has doubled down on his plan to bring in over 600,000 Chinese college students to the United States, in a polarizing move that has divided the MAGA base.
However, the president has batted away criticism, declaring, “I know what MAGA wants better than anybody else.”

This is not to say that each and every Chinese student is actively engaged in spying at every moment. But it is the case that each and every Chinese student is legally obliged under Chinese law to undertake espionage whenever so directed by Chinese authorities. The Chinese law is found in sections 7 and 17 of the Chinese statute known as the “National Intelligence Law.”
And each and every one of these Chinese students has family back in China, rendering the student vulnerable to pressure arising from threats against the family.
Moreover, the presence inside the USA of secret Chinese “police stations” provides the organizational potential to harness this vulnerability to drive the student to espionage...
