Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell urged US universities to prioritize recruiting Indian students for science and technology programs over Chinese students, reflecting security concerns. Speaking at the Council on Foreign Relations, Campbell noted that while Chinese students should continue studying humanities in the US, access to sensitive technology in science programs should be limited. He emphasized the need for more Indian students in STEM fields due to deteriorating US-China relations and fears of intellectual property theft. Campbell also stressed the importance of maintaining some academic ties with China, despite challenges posed by Beijing’s policies.
