Trump says he will allow 600,000 Chinese to study in the US – double the current number

US President Donald Trump said he would allow 600,000 Chinese students to enter the United States which is double the current figure, and reiterated that President Xi Jinping had invited him “to come to China”.

The significant shift in tone from the US government came soon after the Chinese embassy in the US advised students to “be cautious when choosing” Houston as their destination when entering America, saying some students have been “unjustifiably questioned and harassed” recently.

On Monday, while meeting South Korean President Lee Jae Myung at the White House, Trump told reporters in the White House that the US would allow more Chinese to study in his country.

“I hear so many stories about we’re not going to allow their [Chinese] students … to come in. We’re going to allow their students to come in. It’s very important, 600,000 students,” Trump said, which would more than double the current number of Chinese students learning in the country.

He said his administration was going to “get along good” with China, and repeated that Xi had invited him to visit China.
