WANG YING/XINHUA China urged the United States to stop unjustifiable restrictions on Chinese students and reconsider the impact of its Immigration and Nationality Act and Presidential Proclamation 10043, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said on Friday. His remarks came after Washington said that the country’s visa restrictions based on Proclamation 10043 only relate to less than 2 percent of the overall number of Chinese students and exchange visa applicants. The proclamation, signed by former US president Donald Trump last year, accuses the Chinese government of using overseas Chinese students to acquire sensitive US technologies and intellectual property, and it denies entry to those Chinese students and researchers who Washington defines as being connected to China's "Military-Civil Fusion Strategy".
