The PRC Students Act would gradually reduce the number of Chinese student visas available to the United States each year by 50,000 until the number matches the estimated fewer than 1,000 American students currently studying in China, citing restrictions that U.S. students face there including travel limitations, censorship, and risk of detention. The bill also restricts Chinese nationals studying in the United States from enrolling in sensitive academic programs with potential military applications, including naval architecture, aircraft engineering, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing. These restrictions would remain in place until China removes internal travel restrictions on U.S. students, provides them internet and research database access equal to what Chinese students receive in America, stops threatening exit bans and detaining U.S. students, and opens all Chinese universities to American students. The bill is based on findings that Chinese students and researchers have been accused of espionage and intelligence collection to support China's military development, while American students face significant obstacles pursuing education in China. Once Congress is notified that China has met these conditions, the visa reduction requirements would stop applying.
