Sen. Ashley Moody to Newsmax: Halt Student Visas for Chinese Nationals

Sen. Ashley Moody told Newsmax that her bill to halt student visas for Chinese citizens would help prevent the Chinese Communist Party from spying on U.S. military bases and universities.

“I think it’s always important to start with China in recent years, passing a law that said that any Chinese national had to cooperate with the CCP and that includes intelligence gathering,” the Florida Republican said on Newsmax’s “National Report” in an interview Wednesday morning.

“As you know, the United States of America invites 300,000 Chinese students into our country every year and gives them visas,” she continued. “It’s no surprise, then, that a congressional report and committee said this is happening, CCP is organizing students to come here, steal information from our universities, surveil our military bases.”
