BEIJING (Reuters) -China hopes the United States will act on U.S. President Donald Trump's commitment to welcome Chinese students, the foreign ministry said on Wednesday.
Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun, speaking at a regular press conference, also urged the U.S. to stop "unprovoked harassment, interrogation, and deportation" of Chinese students.
Trump said on Tuesday that U.S. colleges would struggle without Chinese students, amid a backlash from his base after he suggested he could let 600,000 Chinese college students into the country as part of trade talks with the economic rival.
