and decisions aimed at changing education and immigration in the country, alongside cracking down on pro-Palestine protests that took place on US college campuses last year.The new tax plans aim to increase taxes on what US universities earn from their endowments.So, what exactly is an endowment?

An endowment refers to funds or assets donated to a university to keep it financially sustained in the future.Endowments typically comprise charitable donations from alumni, other donors and companies.

The bill before the US Congress sets tax rates for universities based on their effective endowments per student – by dividing their total endowments by the number of full-time students at the institution.

Earnings from investments made from endowments will be taxed, if the bill becomes law.“The Chinese Communist Party has established a well-documented, systematic pipeline to embed researchers in leading US institutions, providing them direct exposure to sensitive technologies with dual-use military applications,” Moolenaar said in the letter, adding that many Chinese students immigrate to the US or other Western countries after completing their degrees.

“This pattern raises significant concerns about the extent to which Chinese nationals, after gaining expertise in highly advanced fields, ultimately transfer knowledge back to China,” he said.Rubio also did not specify what would constitute “connections” to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which is the only major political group in China, a one-party country. The party has about 100 million card-carrying members in a country of about 400 million families, so on average, one in every four Chinese citizens has an immediate relative in the CCP.

The US State Department website also released a press statement, titled “New Visa Policies Put America First, Not China”.In this statement, Rubio added: “We will also revise visa criteria to enhance scrutiny of all future visa applications from the People’s Republic of China and Hong Kong.”
