About 20 Chinese scholars were recently denied entry into the United States at a Seattle Airport, the Chinese regime said in a statement on April 16.

In an alert posted on X, China Consular Affairs said that the 20 scholars were traveling to the United States to attend an academic conference when they were inspected by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The scholars were subsequently refused entry despite having valid visas, according to the notice.
