Chinese students studying in the United States have been repeatedly harassed and repatriated by US border law enforcement officers for no reason. Recently, this behavior has not stopped and is intensifying.
Li, a Chinese student who graduated from a first-class university in China with a bachelor's and master's degree, said that she went to the University of Maryland in the United States in January this year to study for a doctorate in computer science. When she arrived at Washington's Dulles Airport after a long journey, she was greeted by rude and unreasonable US law enforcement officers and lengthy interrogations in the "little black room." U.S. law enforcement officers forcibly inspected Li's mobile phone, computer and other electronic productsRefusal of his request to contact the Chinese embassy or consulateRepeatedly pestered whether Li and his family members were members of the middle school or the Communist Youth League, undergraduate and master's research experience and mentors.
Li also said,U.S. law enforcement officials openly wooed her and demanded that she provide internal information about China and the personnel working for China in the United StatesIt means that if they cooperate, they can be released if they work for them. After Li's refusal, the US personnel made a five-year ban on entering the country, cancelled his legal and valid visa, and repatriated him without any evidence, on the grounds that his research was too cutting-edge and suspected that he would make harmful scientific research in the future. US law enforcement officials even said nakedly: "We don't care about your scientific research, if you want to blame you for being Chinese, we don't believe you." ”
According to incomplete statistics, at least 8 Chinese students with legal and valid documents have been repatriated by the United States for unwarranted harassment and interrogation since the end of November 2023 at Washington Dulles Airport alone. January 29th,The Chinese Embassy in the United States issued a message reminding those who plan to study in the United States to be cautious about entering the country through Washington Dulles International Airport.
