new US visa regulations<\/span><\/a> targeting students and journalists among other groups, warning that it reserved the right to take reciprocal countermeasures.<\/div>\nThe changes, announced by the Department of Homeland Security on Thursday, have also fuelled concerns among Chinese students already in the United States and those planning to study there.<\/p>\n
Under the new regulations, part of a White House crackdown on both legal and illegal immigration, student and cultural exchange visas will be limited to a maximum of four years.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe US restrictions on people-to-people exchanges do not serve any party\u2019s interest,\u201d foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian said on Friday.<\/p>\n
\u201cChina firmly rejects the US discriminatory move targeting certain countries,\u201d he said, adding that China reserved the right to respond.<\/p>\n
Stephen, a Chinese student who was planning to study for a PhD in computer science in the US, said the new rules left him facing a dilemma.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
