China has said it is ready for talks with India to negotiate and manage the long-disputed border following a direct push by Indian defence minister Rajnath Singh. The statement comes days after Singh met his Chinese counterpart Admiral Dong Jun at the SCO meet in Qingdao.
Singh had urged for a permanent solution to the LAC demarcation and troop de-escalation, referring to a “structured roadmap” for resolving tensions. Beijing responded that while the border issue is complicated, established diplomatic and military mechanisms are in place, and both sides must work to keep peace and stability. The 2020 Galwan Valley clash — which claimed 20 Indian and at least 4 Chinese soldiers — had tanked bilateral relations, but recent developments such as talks resuming and Kailash Mansarovar Yatra reopening signal cautious optimism. Both sides have agreed to continue dialogue through Special Representative mechanisms and cross-border initiatives.

China has called on the United States to protect the legitimate rights of international students following a temporary halt on new student visa interviews. The U.S. State Department paused visa processing as it expands social media screening amid heightened scrutiny. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning condemned the politicization of educational cooperation, warning that such policies harm the US’s global image. With over 100,000 Chinese students applying annually, tensions grow as visa restrictions threaten international education ties.

Xi Mingze, Chinese President Xi Jinping’s only daughter, is back in headlines amid US-China tensions. The Harvard-educated Xi reportedly resides in Massachusetts under tight security. Her speculated presence in the US draws fresh attention as Washington moves to revoke student visas linked to the Chinese Communist Party. With Trump targeting Harvard over non-compliance and Marco Rubio pushing stricter visa policies, Xi Mingze’s future in the US looks uncertain. Beijing has slammed the decision, demanding answers. Reports also suggest she may now be a research student in Cambridge.

The U.S. is ramping up its anti-China stance with new visa restrictions targeting Chinese students. Senator Marco Rubio revealed plans to revoke visas of students with alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party or sensitive academic fields. China has condemned the move, accusing the U.S. of politicizing education and harming international cooperation. With Chinese students making up the second-largest international group in the U.S., these policies could disrupt academic institutions and worsen U.S.-China relations. The State Department has also paused new interviews and expanded social media screening for applicants.

Harvard University is at the center of a growing political and national security firestorm. The Trump administration has moved to revoke the school’s ability to enroll foreign students, accusing the Ivy League giant of harboring Chinese Communist Party influence and fostering antisemitism. Nearly 7,000 international students could be forced to leave — a fifth of them from China — if the policy moves forward.

In a dramatic escalation, President Trump has stripped Harvard University of its SEVP status, effectively banning international student enrollment. Nearly 7,000 students face deportation unless they transfer within 72 hours. The move, tied to demands to end DEI initiatives and Crack down on antisemitism, freezes $2.2 billion in federal funding. Homeland Security cites Harvard’s alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party. University officials call it political retaliation, warning of devastating impacts on research, global collaboration, and academic freedom.
