Wuhan University, South China University of Technology, Southwest University of Science and Technology and other 58 Chinese universities will be "blacklisted" by the United States.

2025, The US-China Special Committee on Strategic Competition of the US House of Representatives submitted to the US Congress a report entitled From Ph. D. To PLA: How Visa Policies Enable PRC Defense Entities to Tap U. S. Higher. Education (hereinafter referred to as the Report). The report recommends that U.S. visa applicants from 58 Chinese universities be denied visas .

It is worth noting that among the 58 Chinese universities blacklisted by the United States, there are many well-known universities in the cement and building materials industry . Such as South China University of Technology, Wuhan University, Southwest University of Science and Technology, Wuhan University of Technology and so on.

The list of 58 Chinese universities on the "blacklist" is as follows:

However, the tightening of the US visa policy towards China seems to be sudden, but in fact there are signs to follow. In 2020, President Trump signed Presidential Proclamation 10043 (hereinafter referred to as "Decree 10043"), prohibiting specific students and scholars from obtaining visas in the name of national security. At that time, the restrictions were mainly aimed at two groups of people: (1) government-sponsored students who received funding from CSC (China Scholarship Council); and (2) Chinese university students, researchers and visiting scholars who were related to the "civil-military integration development strategy".

The report submitted by the US-China Special Committee on Strategic Competition not only extends the restricted institutions to 58 Chinese universities such as Peking University and Tsinghua University, but also extends the restricted objects from specific majors to all groups applying for F/J visas.
