Original title: the Chinese Embassy in the United States reminded Chinese students studying in the United States to carefully choose routes to Houston
Washington, September 29 (reporter Zhang mengxu) a spokesman of the Chinese Embassy in the United States said on the 29th that recently, a Chinese student studying in the United States who has obtained a legal visa issued by the U.S. government was unreasonably investigated and disturbed by the U.S. side when entering the country, and his personal freedom was restricted in a narrow space for more than 50 hours, during which normal diet and rest could not be guaranteed, It was eventually repatriated by the United States through a third country for unwarranted reasons. The US move seriously infringed upon the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese students studying in the United States, resulting in serious physical and mental harm to the parties and their parents. China is strongly dissatisfied and firmly opposed to this and has made solemn representations to the United States.
The spokesman stressed that for some time, the US side has continued to interfere and obstruct Sino US exchanges and cooperation in education, humanities and other fields. There have been a series of bad incidents in which law enforcement officers have conducted unwarranted, rude interrogation and even repatriation of Chinese students studying in the United States, seriously infringing on the human rights of the parties concerned. The US approach seriously undermines the normal people to people and cultural exchanges and educational cooperation between China and the United States, runs counter to the self proclaimed concepts of openness and freedom, runs counter to the trend of the times for international talent exchange, and runs counter to the common desire of the two peoples to carry out friendly exchanges. It is doomed to be unpopular, harm others and benefit oneself. The Chinese side immediately expressed its solemn position of strong opposition to each incident to the US side.
The Chinese Embassy in the United States also issued an announcement on the 28th to remind Chinese students studying in the United States to carefully choose routes to Houston. The announcement said that recently, several Chinese students studying in the United States were interrogated when they entered Houston Airport, and were eventually unreasonably repatriated, seriously damaging the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese students studying in the United States. The embassy and consulate in the United States will continue to support Chinese students studying in the United States to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests according to law, remind students studying abroad to improve their safety awareness, carefully consider the problems they may encounter when studying in the United States, strengthen prevention and properly deal with them. In case of emergency, please contact the Chinese Embassy and consulate in the United States for assistance.
