  4. China made a huge mistake introducing Hong Kong national security law; Getting Visa and college degrees revoked by US government... This is a complex and increasingly sensitive issue that reflects deep structural differences between legal systems and educational values in the U.S. and China. What we are witnessing isn't simply about student visas being revoked—it’s about the growing incompatibility between American democratic legal education and the authoritarian model of law practiced under China’s Communist Party, especially in the context of Hong Kong's post-2020 legal system. U.S. law schools are built on foundational principles like the rule of law, judicial independence, ethical conduct, human rights, civil liberties, and adversarial legal reasoning. Law students are trained to engage in critical analysis, challenge authority, protect dissent, and promote justice—even when it means holding their own government accountable. In contrast, China’s legal system—especially as extended to Hong Kong via the National Security Law—operates under party supremacy, where the judiciary is not fully independent and the law serves political stability and regime control. Trials involving dissent, activism, or press freedom are often viewed in the West as lacking due process, transparency, and impartiality—core requirements under international legal standards. For this reason, the U.S. has taken steps to restrict legal studies access to individuals tied to state security agencies, military-affiliated universities, or political-legal committees. These affiliations raise concerns about espionage, ideological influence, and the export of authoritarian legal doctrine into classrooms that promote free legal reasoning and independent thinking. It’s not about nationality—many Chinese and Hong Kong students continue to thrive in U.S. law programs—but about affiliations and intentions. When students are sponsored by foreign governments, particularly authoritarian regimes, and fail to disclose it, this violates visa terms and U.S. federal law. Visa programs are not open channels for ideological training that may contradict American legal ethics. Moreover, the influence of Hong Kong’s changing legal climate cannot be overlooked. The enforcement of vague concepts like “subversion” or “collusion with foreign forces” has had a chilling effect on civil society, legal advocacy, and academic freedom. Many respected figures in the legal profession and pro-democracy movements have faced imprisonment or exile under laws that Western scholars often describe as tools of political repression rather than neutral legal instruments. U.S. institutions, especially law schools, have a duty to uphold professional conduct, ethical standards, and constitutional principles. That includes re-evaluating who is granted access to study law—not as a matter of discrimination, but as a matter of safeguarding democratic legal education from being undermined by ideologies that criminalize the very values it teaches. This situation is delicate, but it's also important. Dialogue must continue, but so must the defense of legal integrity.
