U.S. House targets universities over Chinese student information

The chair of a US House committee has asked six American universities for information regarding their Chinese students. This request comes amid growing national security concerns. Universities targeted include Stanford and Carnegie Mellon. The committee's chair sent letters requesting details by April 1. They want to know about the Chinese students' previous schools, how they pay for their education, and what research programs they are involved in. The chair, Moolenaar, believes that the current student visa system is being exploited. He stated that it could harm American talent and research integrity, while also benefiting China's technology goals.
