China’s public security minister called on the US homeland security secretary to stop alleged “harassment” of Chinese students entering the United States in a meeting between the two in Vienna, Beijing’s state media reported Monday.
Beijing has repeatedly alleged that Chinese nationals with valid travel documents have been subject to aggressive interrogations and deportations at US airports.
Last month, its embassy in Washington said Chinese travellers should avoid the capital’s Dulles airport.
In a readout of talks Sunday between Wang Xiaohong and Alejandro Mayorkas, Beijing said Washington must
“stop harassing and checking Chinese students for no apparent reason”,
state news agency Xinhua said.
