Thousands of Chinese students in Minnesota face consequences from latest Trump directive

Reuters interview a Chinese student, identified only as Wu, who said she had recently been accepted into the University of Minnesota in Duluth and had no alternate plan if her visa was not approved. After seeing the news out of the U.S., she said she started trying to snag a mid-June interview slot at the U.S. Consulate in Shanghai to press her case.

“At nearly midnight I saw the news and immediately started booking, the page crashed several times,” Wu told reporters.

China sends more international students to the U.S. than any other country besides India. In 2024 there were more than 277,000 students from China enrolled in U.S. universities and colleges, though that’s significantly down from the more than 370,000 in 2019, according to data from Open Doors, Institute of International Education (IIE).
