BEIJING, June 3-- China's Ministry of Education on Monday warned students and scholars of the risks of going to study in the United States citing U.S. visa restrictions, urging them to step up risk assessment and make corresponding preparations. The alert states that the visa applications of some Chinese hoping to study in the United States have recently been restricted, with an extended review process, shortened validity period, and an increased rejection rate, which have affected their plans to study in the United States or the completion of their studies there. "These actions have hurt the dignity of Chinese students in the United States, and also seriously hurt the feelings of the Chinese people," said Xu Yongji, an official with the ministry. The previous week has witnessed China take prompt actions defending its rights and interests. The new mechanism of unreliable entities list to protect Chinese national and corporate interests was unveiled, additional tariffs on a list of imported U.S. products went into effect, and FedEx landed in the crosshairs of an official investigation. FedEx has recently failed to deliver express packages to designated addresses in China, violating laws and regulations governing the express industry in China. "International delivery firms operating in China are required to comply with Chinese laws and regulations and not to harm the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese clients," Ma Junsheng, head of the State Post Bureau, told Xinhua. |
