No shift in US visa policy for Chinese students: Why the 600,000 figure doesn’t mean more visas

The White House has clarified that US President Donald Trump is not increasing student visas for Chinese nationals, addressing confusion over a quoted figure of 600,000 students. As reported by Fox News, officials confirmed the number reflects a two-year cumulative total, not a policy shift. With over 270,000 Chinese students currently in the US, the visa policy remains unchanged. The clarification comes amid ongoing US-China trade discussions, where educational exchanges remain a topic.
