WASHINGTON/BEIJING—The United States is blocking visas for certain Chinese graduate students and researchers to prevent them from stealing sensitive information, the acting head of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, said on Sept. 9.

Chad Wolf repeated U.S. charges of unjust business practices and industrial espionage by the regime in China, including attempts to steal coronavirus research, and accused it of abusing student visas to exploit American academia.
