Hold onto your tinfoil hats, America! Congressman Riley M. Moore has simply dropped a legislative bombshell that sounds prefer it was ripped straight from a Hollywood spy thriller. Introducing the Stop Chinese Communist Prying by Vindicating Intellectual Safeguards in Academia Act—or the “Stop CCP VISAs Act” for these of us preferring shorter, much less tongue-twisting names.
So what’s this all about? Apparently, the U.S. has been handing out almost 300,000 pupil visas to Chinese nationals yearly, and in accordance to Rep. Moore and his co-sponsors, this has been the proper cowl for espionage, excessive-tech heists, and navy reconnaissance. Move over, James Bond—apparently, the actual motion is going on at your native college’s analysis lab.
Mission Impossible: College Edition
The invoice comes on the heels of some eye-popping spy instances that make you marvel in case your study buddy would possibly really be a 007-in-coaching:
- Five college students in Michigan allegedly determined their extracurricular exercise of alternative can be photographing U.S.-Taiwan navy workout routines—as a result of nothing screams “totally normal college experience” like snapping pics of navy drills.
- A Chinese pupil in Virginia thought it’d be cool to fly a drone over a naval shipyard, main to the apparent conclusion: both he’s the worst hobbyist drone pilot in historical past, or he’s up to one thing sketchy.
- One man in Chicago went full Jason Bourne, coming to the U.S. on a pupil visa solely to get recruited to steal chopping-edge expertise. Turns out, networking is necessary, even on the earth of worldwide espionage.
Faced with these tales, Rep. Moore and his group have determined that sufficient is sufficient. Their new laws would minimize off all pupil visas to Chinese nationals, successfully turning the tutorial welcome mat right into a “Do Not Disturb” signal.
The Politics of Spying & Student Life
Unsurprisingly, Moore isn’t alone in sounding the alarm. Several Republican lawmakers have joined him in co-sponsoring the invoice, with statements that learn just like the script of a nationwide safety motion thriller.
Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX): “The CCP is fundamentally opposed to our values, yet we’ve been handing out student visas like free samples at Costco. Time to put a stop to this.”
Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA): “300,000 students infiltrating our academic institutions? That makes ZERO sense!” (We assume the ALL CAPS means he’s yelling.)
Senator Ashley Moody (R-FL): “For decades, we assumed China would play nice. Instead, they sent their people to steal research like it’s Black Friday at Best Buy.”
What Happens Next?
If this invoice passes, it might imply a full cease on Chinese pupil visas, successfully reshaping the panorama of worldwide schooling within the U.S. It would additionally ship a robust political message to Beijing—although whether or not that message can be obtained as “We’re onto you” or “Time to double down on cyber espionage” stays to be seen.
For now, universities, tech firms, and nationwide safety consultants are all watching intently. Meanwhile, someplace in China, a bunch of intelligence officers might be saying, “Well, there goes Plan A—time to get creative.”
Stay tuned, of us—this one’s simply getting began!

华盛顿特区，2025年3月14日 – 美国国会众议员莱利·摩尔（Riley M. Moore）近日提出一项新法案，旨在停止向中国公民发放学生签证。该法案名为**《阻止中共间谍法案》（Stop CCP VISAs Act）**，目的是防止美国高校成为中国政府获取敏感技术和军事情报的渠道。
法案背景
近年来，美国政府发现部分持学生签证的中国公民涉嫌参与军事间谍活动和技术盗窃，其中包括：
- 五名中国学生在密歇根州拍摄美台军演，随后被捕。
- 一名中国留学生在弗吉尼亚州的美国海军基地附近用无人机拍摄，被判有罪。
- 一名中国公民在芝加哥利用学生签证身份，为中共招募间谍窃取高端技术。
对此，摩尔议员表示：“我们每年允许近30万名中国公民持学生签证进入美国，实际上是在邀请中共间谍窃取军事机密和知识产权。这种情况必须立即停止。”
议员支持
该法案得到了多名共和党议员的支持，包括**布兰登·吉尔（Brandon Gill, R-TX）、斯科特·佩里（Scott Perry, R-PA）、特洛伊·奈尔斯（Troy Nehls, R-TX）、安迪·奥格尔斯（Andy Ogles, R-TN）以及阿迪森·麦克道尔（Addison McDoeffectively, R-NC）等。此外，佛罗里达州参议员阿什利·穆迪（Ashley Moody, R-FL）**也计划在参议院提出配套法案。
穆迪参议员表示：“几十年来，我们以为让中国加入全球市场、媒体和大学，他们就会民主化，但事实证明中共只是利用美国的开放环境发展自己的优势，甚至迫使本国公民在海外从事间谍活动。”
吉尔议员则强调：“我们已经向数十万中国公民发放学生签证，其中许多人可能受中共政府指派进行间谍活动。”
未来影响
如果该法案获得通过，美国将全面禁止向中国公民发放学生签证，这将对美国高校的国际招生、科研合作以及中美关系产生重大影响。目前，美国学术界和政府官员对此持不同态度，一些大学担忧该法案可能会影响学术自由和国际合作，而支持者则认为国家安全必须优先。
目前，该法案尚在国会审议阶段，未来是否能正式生效仍有待观察。
