China criticises US For 'politicising' education after Harvard foreign student ban: Video
China has strongly condemned what it calls the "politicisation" of educational exchanges following the United States’ decision to revoke Harvard University’s ability to enrol foreign students, a move that impacts many Chinese nationals.
Speaking at a regular press briefing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning expressed firm opposition to the decision. “The Chinese side has consistently opposed the politicisation of educational cooperation,” she said. “This action by the U.S. will only damage its image and international standing.”
The ban, which has sparked concern across academic and diplomatic circles, is seen by Beijing as yet another sign of rising diplomatic tensions between the two powers.
