I've repeatedly emailed (another senator) before about the problem of Chinese students in the US on student visas 'collecting' sensitive info for the Chinese government. Some (maybe many) are here on fully-paid Chinese government 'scholarships'. There are over 1200 of them just in Oxford, Ohio at Miami. I was in Air Force intelligence and I have seen some things in Oxford that tend to confirm that this presence is not benign.
Can we imagine the communist Chinese government asks nothing in return for sending these people to the US? We both know they do, and that there are family members remaining in China that may bear the brunt of non-compliance.
As you know, these 'students' and people on work visas are extracting tremendous amounts of intellectual property and sensitive technologies, and many are enrolled in the engineering schools that feed into our military R&D, particularly in the region that surrounds Wright-Patterson AFB.
The communist Chinese government has just done tremendous damage, not only to our country, but to the entire world with their lies and cover-up of the corona virus release. They MUST be held accountable for that in a very significant way.
I believe that the US should revoke ALL student and work visas issued to Chinese nationals, verify their quick exit from our country, and put further issuance of them on hold till there is a verifiable, sustained change in the behavior of the Chinese government.
They have no 'right' to these visas, and at this point they have shown that they do not deserve the privilege of coming to the US. Having these agents of a hostile government present in the US is not at all in our interests, diplomatically or otherwise. The price is much too high.
Please take urgent and quick action to end the issuance of these visas, and to send the current 'visitors' back home.

Northwest Woodsman: Several years ago, I conducted an interview with a law school graduate who was a candidate for a position with a US intelligence agency. She had served two university study abroad tours in China and subsequently attended and graduated from a US law school and made application for a position as a lawyer in the intelligence community. During the interview, it was disclosed that she had resided with a Chinese sponsor family during her time in the study abroad program and that “family” had provided the funds necessary for her to attend a rather prestigious US law school. This aroused my suspicions as I can’t imagine any ordinary Chinese family being wealthy enough to be able to afford funding a law school education for a US citizen unless there was a connection with the Chinese military or intelligence services. It appears that the plan was for the candidate to hopefully be accepted for an entry level position with the agency where, over time, she would eventually have access to highly classified information and at a certain point, they could manipulate her into providing classified information as a payback for their funding her law school education. As my report of investigation was forwarded through a bureaucratic rabbit hole, I never heard what the result of the adjudication process was. My guess would be that PC during the Clinton administration outweighed national security and she got the job!
I agree, but the libtards would claim discrimination just like they do with the "peace-loving" muslims.
Next China would target Chinese-American citizens to get them to spy, and threaten to harm their relatives who still reside in China if they don't. I don't put it past the Chinese and I don't put it past the Democrats who are in bed with the Chinese protecting their assets and allowing intellectual property theft/spying.
Some people are just so greedy and power-hungry to the point of total derangement
Very very good letter.
There are consequences to the actions suggested in this letter. The US cannot simply cancel all visas issued to Chinese nationals without repercussions. For example, I have a 10 year multi-entry Chinese visa in my US passport. I travel to China 3-4 times per year to support my US based business and the 62 US employees we employ here. China will respond to the actions suggested by the writer by canceling my visa, which will directly result in layoffs of US citizens at my firm. Wholesale Xenophobia May be easy for underemployed shoremen, but it comes at a high cost for those of us who are highly productive.

Look at the big picture and not your selfish interests.
Repercussions? Bring them on, we're beating this virus thing and will beat everything else they can hit us with Repercussions my ass.
"..it comes at a high cost for those of us who are highly productive."
Why are you going to China 3-4 times per year? Are you part of their umbilical cord to the US economy?
Cut them loose and source your stuff from somebody who isn't trying to destroy your country. (Or are you Chinese? You didn't say..)
If you understand the oriental way of thinking, we have been at war with China for many years. They work in small, incremental steps, patiently chipping away till they accomplish their goal.
They have our manufacturing base, they are buying up American property and strategic businesses at fire-sale prices. And we have been the biggest suckers on the planet.
They are out to dominate the world, and we are about the only thing between them and that goal.
I'm sure the NorthwestWoodsman might have a few things he could add, but that's pretty much where we stand.
Would there be Chinese retribution to our pulling their spies' visas?
Sure. But it's nothing we can't handle.. in fact, it might be just what is needed to wean us off of our addiction to cheap Chinese crap.
We're all sitting around the house till further notice because of the Chinese communist government and its actions/lies/coverups.
Remember that.
".. the libtards would claim discrimination.."
So what? That's what they say in every third sentence. It no longer means anything, except to someone who is afraid to be called names.
"..Next China would target Chinese-American citizens to get them to spy, and threaten to harm their relatives who still reside in China if they don't."
You think they are not already doing that? And if those 'Chinese-Americans' do spy, they get the bum's rush too. That's against federal law.
At 1:51 p.m., I agree 100% with you
11:53, get your business out of China then you won't have it to worry about. Put some of those American people to work. Quit depending on the Chinese for everything. If it says Made in China put it down and move on. We need more of Made in the USA. Vote Trump 2020.
11:53 you say you have a business in china and employ 62 worker in our country. What is wrong with hiring all American workers in this country, does it cut into your profit too much? How many workers do you employ in china? Do you pay tariffs on the products we import from your sweat shop? Looks to me like you care more about the bottom line than you do about most Americans, just as most top executives and ceo's control their businesses. Thank you for nothing. I hope your visa is cancelled.
11:53 sees only his business and its profits 12:59. He cares about nothing else.
Very well spoken 2:54, my exact feelings
I worry about that large amount of student visa people from all over the world that come here (Ocean City) to work and never go home. I know of 2 that have been here for almost 10 years.
