Chinese students say they’re questioning their decision to study in the U.S. after Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the federal government will attempt to “aggressively” revoke their visas.
Rubio said Wednesday that Chinese students “with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields” would be targeted.
Chinese students who spoke to NBC News on Thursday said that they came to the U.S. for freedoms they felt they did not have back in China but that now the Trump administration is starting to resemble the strict regime they left behind.
When they say they want freedom, they mean freedom to be openly racist and such. They’re not really interested in freedom in general, they want a strict regime.
“When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in an American flag.”
If you just say you believe something enough times, people will start to believe you, even if you haven’t done anything to show that you believe it.
A good example is all of those right wing “free speech warriors” like Joe Rogan and Ben Shapiro who only believe in freedom of speech for people they agree with.
