 Dolly Parton returns to public eye to celebrate opening day at Dollywood     Dolly Parton made her first public appearance in months to celebrate the opening day of Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, on Friday.

US SECRETARY OF STATE MARCO RUBIO ANNOUNCED ON WEDNESDAY THAT THE UNITED STATES WILL BEGIN REVOKING THE VISAS OF CERTAIN CHINESE STUDENTS. (PHOTO).


 US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on Wednesday that the United States will begin revoking the visas of certain Chinese students. 

The move will target individuals with ties to the Chinese Communist Party or those studying in fields considered sensitive to national security. Rubio stated the State Department will “aggressively” enforce these new measures.


This decision could affect thousands of students, as China is the second-largest source of international students in the US. Over 270,000 Chinese students were enrolled in American universities during the 2023–2024 academic year, accounting for nearly 25% of all international students.


The crackdown adds to growing concerns among international students. On Tuesday, Rubio also paused the scheduling of new visa interviews while the State Department drafts stricter guidelines, including enhanced surveillance of students’ online activity. These actions come amid broader efforts by the Trump administration to limit foreign student presence on US campuses.


Universities and student advocacy groups have expressed alarm, warning that such policies could damage the US’s global academic standing. One Chinese student voiced fear, saying, “We came here to learn and contribute. Now we’re treated as threats.” Critics argue the administration is using national security as a cover to push an anti-immigration agenda.
