Australia’s Home Affairs Department has confirmed there has been no significant increase in the number of visas issued to Chinese students despite the Chinese regime’s recent ban on online learning, forcing students to return to foreign universities around the world.

During a Senate hearing on Feb. 13, the Home Affairs Department confirmed that it had issued visas to over 40,000 Chinese students to allow them to return to Australian universities to study.
