During today’s regular press conference by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a reporter mentioned that the U.S. government announced on the 22nd to revoke the student and exchange scholar program qualification granted to Harvard University, prohibiting the institution from enrolling international students. Additionally, current foreign students at Harvard would need to transfer. Chinese students account for 20% of Harvard’s international students. How does the Chinese Foreign Ministry view this?

In response, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning stated that Sino-U.S. educational cooperation is mutually beneficial. The Chinese side consistently opposes the politicization of educational cooperation, and the U.S. actions will only harm its image and international credibility. China will firmly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese students and scholars abroad.
