Yesterday, the American "Science** suddenly published an article disclosing a new piece of legislation in Florida. The law prohibits public universities from obtaining funding or cooperating with entities in seven "countries of concern," including China, including offering contracts to anyone living in those countries to conduct research. In addition, those who are turned away because of their suspicious background must also report to the FBI or other law enforcement agency designated by the governor. While the law also stipulates that students can be admitted on an exception if they can pass the state's rigorous scrutiny and are deemed to "not compromise the safety or security of the United States and its residents," the process and how it will be implemented is unclear. Even if Chinese students are able to pass the review and be admitted to the relevant institutions, according to the regulations, students from these countries will not be paid for their research projects during the review period. In other words, the applicant needs to bear all the expenses of working and living in the United States. It is important to note that the term "foreign researcher" does not refer only to persons with foreign nationality, but also to anyone who has received one or more years of training or employment outside the United States. Under this rule, if an American has worked or Xi in China for more than a year, applications to Florida public universities are still subject to scrutiny. It is understood that a total of 12 public colleges and universities in Florida are subject to this law, and the school is still urgently formulating relevant regulations to implement the law. Since the University of Florida issues admission letters to Chinese students from December to early January every year, many of the notices need to be delayed or cancelled due to this regulation.
In addition, as a state in the United States that has issued more "Chinese bans", Florida has successively issued a number of bills this year, prohibiting the real estate of Chinese citizens, and also prohibiting Chinese citizens from obtaining the rights and interests of real estate in Florida through gifts, inheritance, inheritance, etc., and foreigners who already own real estate in Florida need to report to the relevant departments. In addition, Florida has also banned the use of Chinese apps such as TikTok and WeChat by ** and school web servers. On the whole, Florida's management of Chinese's education, business, and investment is increasingly tightened. If there is a need from relevant parties, you can pay attention to the policies of other states in the United States. We will continue to monitor the future development of this policy.
