Republican lawmakers have proposed legislation that would bar Chinese nationals from receiving visas for graduate or post-graduate study in science and technology in the United States.
Sens. Tom Cotton (Ark.) and Marsha Blackburn (Tenn.), and Rep. David Kustoff (Tenn.) unveiled the bill on May 27, saying the measure was a response to Chinese state-sanctioned academic espionage and intellectual property (IP) theft on U.S. college campuses.
