昨天，美国特朗普政府声称将积极地撤销中国学生签证，同时加强审查今后所有来自中国内地和香港的签证申请。 值得一提的是，这倒不仅仅针对中国，美国近期还暂停了对赴美留学、交流的外国公民在海外申请签证需要进行的面谈，并加强对申请者社交媒体帖子的 审查。 风雨欲来，当美国对中国等多个国家逐渐开始"闭关锁国"，世界又如何看待今天的美国呢？ 近期Skift（美国权威旅游行业新闻网站）做过一份调查报告，当时我还觉得《特朗普政策或将导致美国旅游业衰退》这个标题有点夸张，现在看颇有先见 之明。 01 美国驻华大使馆公众号5月29日截图 从具体调研内容来看，Skift问了来自五个国家的1250名游客："特朗普执政时期，你们有去美国的旅游计划吗？" 结果，有46%的人当场回答"那不可能"。 更离谱的是，加拿大受访者"不去"的比例是62%，德国人"不去"是59%。 这不是"不想去"，而是"躲着走"。 前阵子，我和一个中国工作多年的法国老友聊到今年暑期安排，他也是类似态度，"Xi，我宁可去你们宁夏看沙漠，也不想在纽约机场被问十分钟'你来干 嘛的'。" 听起来像段子，实际上是趋势，而数据也已经开口说话了。 也就是说，美国成了全球184个经 ...

中美两国的关系可谓跌宕起伏，已不仅仅停留在经济与贸易领域，更渗透到了教育、科技等各个方面。 这场争夺战的白热化，不仅表现为特朗普政府加大对中国的制裁力度，更是在留学政策和人才争夺上演 出了一幕幕戏剧性场景。 首先，让我们聚焦于特朗普政府自上任以来的"关税战"。近期，美国国际贸易法院的裁决成为一记警 钟，揭示了特朗普政府在对外经济政策中面临的法律挑战。法院裁定特朗普发布的多项关税措施越权， 必须立即停止执行，这对于依赖贸易战取胜的特朗普来说，无疑是一次沉重打击。作为"美国优先"政策 的核心，关税不仅影响着进口商，也直接损害了相关产业，尤其是那些以中小企业为主体的产业。 不仅是企业，特朗普的政策还带来了社会层面的不安。受其影响，越来越多的科研人员开始考虑离开美 国。调查显示，高达75%的科研工作者对此表示忧虑，其中年轻研究人员尤为显著。这一趋势不仅关乎 个人职业选择，更是对美国科技创新和学术竞争力的一次重大考验。特朗普的"强人叙事"正受到来自社 会各界的反击，法律的束缚让他逐渐失去往日的耀眼光环。 与此同时，作为全球顶尖学府之一的哈佛大学也无辜卷入其中。特朗普政府不断加码的制裁与审查，使 得许多国际学生面临着前所 ...

每经编辑｜毕陆名 据央视新闻26日消息，当地时间25日，美国总统特朗普威胁称，联邦政府将可能不再继续向哈佛大学提供新的拨款，并要求校方提供所有国际学生的姓名及 国籍信息，以便进一步审查。 《日本经济新闻》网站文章认为，来自全球的优秀人才曾支撑起美国的繁荣，而特朗普政府正试图切断这一循环。 近期在英国伦敦发布的《2025年全球软实力指数》显示，美国在国际社会的"声誉"指标明显下滑。软实力概念的提出者、哈佛大学肯尼迪政府学院前院长约 瑟夫·奈在去世前曾撰文说，美国吸引其他国家的能力已日渐衰落，特朗普政府的种种做法正严重损害美国的"软实力"。 斯普雷策表示，美国教育委员会在4月就给美国国务院和国土安全部致信，要求他们如果要撤销学生签证，终止学生及交流访问学者项目，就需要提供更多 信息，但并没有收到回应。 斯普雷策说，她担心准入学的国际学生觉得来美国风险太大，从而导致学生数量开始下降，而国际学生去年一年就给美国带来了430亿美元的经济收益。 另据新华社报道，针对特朗普政府对哈佛大学的"国际禁招令"，哈佛大学教授瑞安·伊诺斯称，美国政府正试图对一个美国机构施加惩罚，原因仅仅是这个 机构没有屈服于美国政府的政治意愿。 美 ...

每经编辑｜毕陆名 据央视新闻25日消息，当地时间5月23日，《华尔街日报》批评特朗普政府本周禁止哈佛大学招收国际学生的决定，称 这是对这所常春藤名校的"一次目光短浅的攻击"。 该报社论委员会在一篇评论文章中指出，美国国土安全部（DHS）撤销了哈佛大学的"学生和交流访问学者项 目"（SEVP）认证，这一决定导致哈佛所有国际学生的未来"陷入混乱"。 社论称："哈佛的大多数国际学生就读于研究生项目，许多人参与科学研究或承担本科课程教学。将他们赶出哈佛将扰 乱研究项目，甚至可能导致部分从事科学研究的教授跳槽至其他高校。这似乎是为了冻结哈佛研究经费而设的目标。" 对此，白宫发言人阿比盖尔·杰克逊24日表示，尽管已多次收到警告，哈佛仍未解决校园内的严重问题，如今他们正在为 此承担后果。 对于美国政府这一禁令，哈佛大学的学生接受采访时表示，这是一个"可怕的决定"，禁令不仅会削弱哈佛大学和美国的 国际学术地位，更会对美国社会造成极大负面影响。 哈佛大学学生蒂罗内·布雷斯怀特：我认为特朗普政府禁止哈佛大学招收国际学生是一个可怕的决定。美国是建立在多样 性和"大熔炉"社会的基础之上，我们需要重视每个人，不能因为他们来自不同的地方 ...
