On January 29, 2024, Chinese students entering the United States were interrogated and repatriated. Florida has passed new legislation that prohibits Chinese students from working in the state's public college labs. Every month, dozens of international students and other Chinese visitors to the United States are denied entry, and these students hold valid visas and have no criminal records, and return to the United States for travel and family visits, but are brought into a "small black room" for interrogation for up to eight hours upon entry.
It is reported that Chinese students have caused trouble and inconvenience, and have also had an impact on the laboratory work of American public institutions. Laboratory work requires a high degree of professional knowledge and skills, which often require long hours of training and practice. If Chinese students are unable to work in laboratories, the progress and quality of the work in these laboratories may be affected, and may even adversely affect research and development in related fields. This statement is not widely recognized and accepted. This legislation is an act of racial discrimination and exclusion, and an unfair treatment of Chinese students. They believe that Chinese students, like students from other countries, come here for study and research, and should not be discriminated against and excluded because of their nationality.
Chinese students have always been an important part of higher education in the United States, and they have made great contributions to higher education in the United States, and have also brought beneficial effects on the development of education in China. Their academic achievements and contributions have been widely recognized and praised. For Chinese students, this legislation is not only unfair to them, but also a denial of their efforts and achievements. is a very important question. Every State has the right to protect its own security, but that protection cannot be based on exclusion and discrimination. The United States is a diverse country and should respect and embrace people from different countries and cultural backgrounds. Only through exchanges and cooperation can we achieve the goal of mutual benefit and win-win results.
For Chinese students, they can choose to protect their rights and interests through legal means. They can seek legal aid and support to fight for their legal rights. They can also express their demands and concerns through social media and other channels. Florida's legislation prohibiting Chinese students from working in public college laboratories has caused widespread controversy and concern. We should respect the rights and dignity of every human being and oppose any form of discrimination and exclusion. We should also strengthen exchanges and cooperation to promote the realization of mutually beneficial and win-win goals. In this way, we will be able to build a more just, equal and harmonious society.
