Miller suggested banning Chinese citizens from studying in the United States

Earlier this year, hawks in the White House encouraged US President Trump to stop granting permission to Chinese citizens A student visa was offered, but the proposal was shelved due to concerns about its economic and diplomatic implications.

The latest report from the British "Financial Times" revealed that the key figure promoting this proposal is White House Assistant Stephen Miller (Stephen

Miller).

The Financial Times published a long article on the 2nd saying that four people familiar with internal discussions said that as the Trump administration debated how to deal with Chinese espionage, Mueller urged Trump and Other officials made it impossible for Chinese citizens to study in the United States. Miller has been a key figure in the development of the Trump administration's hard-line immigration policies.

In December last year, the White House released a national security strategy, saying it would "review visa procedures to reduce economic theft by non-traditional intelligence collectors" and consider imposing restrictions on foreign students in science-related fields. Since then, the debate over Chinese students has intensified. While the debate has largely focused on espionage, Mueller argued that his plan would also harm the interests of elite universities, whose faculty, staff and students have been highly critical of Trump, three people familiar with the matter said.

In an Oval Office meeting this spring, Miller met with opponents of the Trump administration, including former Iowa governor and current U.S. Ambassador to China Terry Blan Terry Branstad reached a settlement.

Before Branstad met in the Oval Office, Branstad argued that Miller’s plan would be detrimental to smaller universities, including Iowa State, according to four people familiar with the matter. ) has a much greater impact than on wealthy Ivy League universities.

U.S. Embassy officials in Beijing also made a broader economic argument that most U.S. states enjoy a services trade surplus with China, in part because of spending by Chinese students.

According to a person familiar with the matter, Branstad successfully convinced the president that Mueller's proposal was too harsh. At one point, Trump looked at his ambassador and quipped, "Not everyone can go to Harvard or Princeton, right, Terry?" A spokesman for Branstad declined to comment.

White House spokesperson Sarah Sanders said: The U.S. government has institutions, White House principles and the final decision on the presidential agreement. It has the support of relevant stakeholders.
