Hold onto your tinfoil hats, America! Congressman Riley M. Moore has just dropped a legislative bombshell that sounds like 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 those of us who prefer shorter, less tongue-twisting names.
So what’s this all about? Apparently, the U.S. has been handing out nearly 300,000 student visas to Chinese nationals every year, and according to Rep. Moore and his co-sponsors, this has been the perfect cover for espionage, high-tech heists, and military reconnaissance. Move over, James Bond—apparently, the real action is happening at your local university’s research lab.
Mission Impossible: College Edition
The bill comes on the heels of some eye-popping spy cases that make you wonder if your study buddy might actually be a 007-in-training:
- Five students in Michigan allegedly decided their extracurricular activity of choice would be photographing U.S.-Taiwan military exercises—because nothing screams “totally normal college experience” like snapping pics of military drills.
- A Chinese student in Virginia thought it’d be cool to fly a drone over a naval shipyard, leading to the obvious conclusion: either he’s the worst hobbyist drone pilot in history, or he’s up to something sketchy.
- One guy in Chicago went full Jason Bourne, coming to the U.S. on a student visa only to get recruited to steal cutting-edge technology. Turns out, networking is important, even in the world of international espionage.
Faced with these stories, Rep. Moore and his team have decided that enough is enough. Their new legislation would cut off all student visas to Chinese nationals, effectively turning the academic welcome mat into a “Do Not Disturb” sign.
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 bill, with statements that read like the script of a national security action 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 bill passes, it could mean a full stop on Chinese student visas, effectively reshaping the landscape of international education in the U.S. It would also send a strong political message to Beijing—though whether that message will be received as “We’re onto you” or “Time to double down on cyber espionage” remains to be seen.
For now, universities, tech companies, and national security experts are all watching closely. Meanwhile, somewhere in China, a group of intelligence officers is probably saying, “Well, there goes Plan A—time to get creative.”
Stay tuned, folks—this one’s just getting started!

美国议员提出“停止中共签证法案”，拟禁止中国学生签证
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 McDowell, 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。
