There is absolutely no reason to do this from a public health perspective as these people are already here.

This is 100% about retaliation and pettiness.

We have over 300,000 Chinese students in this country. The 3000 they are talking about have ties to the Chinese military.

There are tens of thousands of Chinese grad students in the US paying full price on tuition, colleges are incredibly cash strapped right now, losing these students will be a big big deal to them.

Personally, I've made some friends in grad school with Chinese students, they really bring a great diversity to any classroom that fosters learning. Had a class on International Business that had like 8 of 25 students who were Chinese nationals, was a great.

And not just the colleges will miss the revenue. The college towns will miss out as well. And missed opportunities for the diversity interaction.
