被美国国务卿取消签证的上千名中国留学生起诉美国政府

据美联社2025年8月31日报道，一名22岁的中国哲学专业学生历经29小时飞行后，抵达美国得克萨斯州的一个国际机场，准备前往休斯顿大学求学。起初，他并未预料到会出现任何问题。

他的文件材料齐全，且即将攻读的是人文学科，而非可能引发怀疑的科技类专业。他不仅获得了这所美国高校的全额奖学金，此前还曾在康奈尔大学参与过一学期的交换项目，期间未出现任何问题。

由于此事涉及政治敏感性，这名学生仅愿透露自己姓的姓顾的学生在入境时被美国海关与边境保护局官员拦下并多次盘问，36小时后被送上返回中国的航班。此外，他还被禁止在五年内再次入境美国，这一决定打断了他希望在美国从事学术事业的梦想。

顾同学表示：“我曾经期待的人生，如今已没有实现的可能。”

目前尚不清楚有多少已获得美国入境许可（签证）的中国学生，在抵美后遭遇遣返或高强度盘问，顾同学只是其中之一。此类事件引发了中国政府的强烈抗议，也凸显出唐纳德·特朗普总统反复无常的政策所带来的不确定性。

一、 美国对中国学生实施限制措施

特朗普政府的立场经常变换：美国国务卿曾一度计划大量吊销中国学生签证，但不久前特朗普本人却表示，将欢迎六十万中国学生赴美留学，以帮助一些美国高校赚取学费维持运营。

但部分美国官员和议员仍对中国学生心存疑虑，尤其是攻读量子计算、人工智能等先进技术专业的学生，他们怀疑这些学生可能与中国政府及军方存在关联。甚至有部分议员主张全面禁止中国学生赴美留学。

目前尚无近期几周内，有多少持有效签证的中国学生在美机场遭盘问并被遣返的最新数据。美国海关与边境保护局既未回应要求提供该数据的请求，也未就中国学生遭盘问或遣返一事发表评论。

近日，特朗普称他曾对中国国家领导人表示：“我们很荣幸能有中国学生来这里（留学）”。但他同时补充道：“不过，在此前提下，我们会进行审查，会保持谨慎，会弄清楚来的人是谁。”

中国驻美大使馆表示，已接到多起报告，涉及10余名中国学生、学者在入境美国时遭盘问、骚扰并被遣返。

中国大使馆在一份声明中指出：“美方频繁对中国学生、学者实施带有歧视性、政治化色彩的选择性执法，给他们造成身心伤害与经济损失，并干扰其正常学术发展。”

大使馆表示，美方常以“所谓‘签证问题’或‘可能危害美国国家安全’”为借口，将这些学生学者遣返。

大使馆称，这些学生、学者被带入小房间（小黑屋）接受长时间盘问，美方反复询问与他们的学术研究无关的问题，还强迫他们在没有毯子或被子的寒冷房间里长时间等待。部分人只能靠铝箔纸取暖，还有人被扣押超过80小时。

中国驻美国大使馆表示，美方此类行为“与特朗普的表态相悖”，并指责部分美国政府部门及执法人员未“切实履行总统的承诺”。白宫尚未就此请求置评。

二、中国留学生顾始料未及的遭遇

顾同学向美联社透露，由于十分喜欢在康奈尔大学的交换经历，他申请了美国高校的哲学硕士项目。

尽管有报道称特朗普政府出台了更严格的政策，但顾同学表示自己并未过于担心，即便在休斯顿乔治·布什洲际机场降落后，他初次被海关官员拦下并带入房间接受盘问时，也依旧没有多想。他表示，自己的行李遭到搜查，电子设备也被没收。

顾同学称，海关官员检查完他的电子设备后，便开始对他进行盘问，核心问题围绕他与中国共产党的关联展开。

他表示，自己的父母是共产党员，但他本人从未入党。不过，和几乎所有中国青少年一样，他是中国共产党的青年组织中国共产主义青年团的成员。

海关官员还就他与中国政府下属的国家留学基金管理委员会的关联对他严加盘问。因为该机构的名称出现在了他的聊天记录中。顾同学解释称，这只是他和同学聊天时偶然提及的机构，但他并未接受过该委员会的资助。

经过三轮总计10小时的盘问后，顾同学被告知他将被遣返。他表示，美方并未给出具体理由，而他向美联社提供的遣返文件上仅标注“文件材料不足”。

截至他被告知将被遣返时时，他已近40小时几乎未眠。他被关押的等候室24小时灯火通明，室内温度也调得很低。

顾同学说：“我冻得发抖，心里又紧张，整个人都在哆嗦。一想到自己要被遣返，脑子里乱成一团麻：未来该怎么办？”

又过了一天，他才被送上返程航班。如今，顾同学正在考虑对这一遣返决定提起上诉，但上诉过程可能需要数年时间，且费用高达数千美元。

A Chinese student was questioned for hours in the US, then sent back even as Trump policies shift. By ALBEE ZHANG and DIDI TANG on AP. August 31, 2025.

The 22-year-old philosophy student from China did not expect any problems after his 29-hour flight arrived at a Texas airport this month as he was on his way to study at the University of Houston.

His paperwork was in order. He was going to study humanities — not a tech field that might raise suspicions. He had a full scholarship from the U.S. school and had previously spent a semester at Cornell University for an exchange program with no issues.

But the student, who asked to be identified only by his family name, Gu, because of the political sensitivities of the matter, was stopped, interrogated and 36 hours later, put on a plane back to China.

He also was banned from coming back for five years, abruptly halting his dream for an academic career in the United States.

“There is no opportunity for the life I had expected,” Gu said.

He is one of an unknown number of Chinese students with permission to enter the United States who have been sent back to China or faced intense questioning after their arrival, drawing strong protests from Beijing and showing the uncertainty from President Donald Trump’s shifting policies.

His administration has quickly pivoted from a plan to revoke visas for Chinese students to Trump himself saying he would welcome hundreds of thousands of them, partly to help keep some American schools afloat.

The US has put restrictions on Chinese students

Even so, some officials and lawmakers have expressed suspicions about Chinese students, especially those who study advanced technologies such as quantum computing and artificial intelligence, and their possible links to the Chinese government and military. Some lawmakers want to ban Chinese students altogether.

There’s no immediate data available on how many Chinese students with valid visas have been interrogated and repatriated from U.S. airports in recent weeks. U.S. Customs and Border Protection did not respond to a request for that data or for comment on Chinese students being questioned or sent back.

In recent days, Trump said he told Chinese President Xi Jinping that “we’re honored to have their students here.” But he also added, “Now, with that, we check and we’re careful, we see who is there.”

The Chinese Embassy said it has received reports involving more than 10 Chinese students and scholars being interrogated, harassed and repatriated when entering the U.S.

“The U.S. side has frequently carried out discriminatory, politically driven and selective law enforcement against Chinese students and scholars, inflicting physical and mental harm, financial losses, and disruptions to their careers,” the Chinese Embassy said in a statement.

They were repatriated under the pretext of “so-called ‘visa issues’ or ‘might endanger U.S. national security,’” the embassy said.

The students and scholars were taken into small rooms for extended interrogation, repeatedly questioned on issues unrelated to their academic work, and forced to wait long hours in cold rooms without blankets or quilts, the embassy said. Some relied on aluminum foil to keep warm, and some were detained for more than 80 hours, it said.

Such acts by the U.S. side “run counter to the statements” made by Trump, the embassy said, accusing some U.S. departments and law enforcement personnel of not “faithfully acting on the president’s commitment.” The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

One Chinese student had no concerns as he headed to the US

Gu told AP that he liked his Cornell experience so much that he applied for a master’s program to study philosophy in the U.S.

Despite reports of stricter policies by the Trump administration, Gu said he wasn’t too worried, not even when he was first stopped and taken to a room for questioning by a customs officer after landing at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston. His belongings were searched, and his electronics were taken away, he said.

After the officer went through the devices, he started interrogating Gu, focusing on his ties to the Chinese Communist Party, Gu said.

He said his parents are party members, but he has never joined, though he — like nearly all Chinese teens and young people — is a member of the party’s youth arm, the Communist Youth League.

The customs officer also grilled him on his connections to the governmental China Scholarship Council, which popped up in his chat history. Gu said it came up in his chats with his schoolmates, but he did not receive money from the Chinese government.

Three rounds of interrogation lasted 10 hours, before Gu was told he was to be deported. No specific reason was given, he said, and the removal paperwork he provided to AP indicated inadequate documentation.

By then, he had hardly slept for 40 hours. The waiting room where he was kept was lit around the clock, its room temperature set low.

“I was so nervous I was shaking, due to both being freezing cold and also the nerves,” Gu said. “So many things were going through my head now that I was being deported. What should I do in the future?”

It would be another day before he was put on a flight. Now, Gu is considering appealing the decision, but that might take years and cost thousands of dollars.
