When he took over in January, he was against Chinese students studying in the USA, even refusing student visas for some of those who applied to study in the USA and even threatening about withdrawing student visas for those already halfway through their studies. Universities in the USA are suffering financial problems with the number of Chinese students now avoiding the USA and the pain is clearly felt..
Now, the shit must have landed on the fan, and Trump is backtracking on his diatribe against Chinese students studying in the USA and now realizing that USA universities cannot do without Chinese students funding the survival of those universities. Trump is realistically chickening out once again, but I would say that the harm is already done. Chinese parents are wary now, knowing that Trump can change his mind at his whims and fancies, and there is no guarantee that what he does is trustworthy anymore.
A university education in the USA for Chinese students is losing out in the queue for jobs in China's highly charged technology sector, with Chinese universities churning out highly innovative engineers and scientists for technology jobs that are mushrooming in China. Some Chinese technology giants are already giving preference to Chinese university graduates, rather than going for those from foreign universities. Chinese parents must heed the changing landscape of higher education for their kids.
