“The Chinese Communist Party has established a well-documented, systematic pipeline to embed researchers in leading US institutions, providing them direct exposure to sensitive technologies with dual-use military applications,” Moolenaar said in the letter, adding that many Chinese students immigrate to the US or other Western countries after completing their degrees.“This pattern raises significant concerns about the extent to which Chinese nationals, after gaining expertise in highly advanced fields, ultimately transfer knowledge back to China,” he said.

Rubio also did not specify what would constitute “connections” to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which is the only major political group in China, a one-party country. The party has about 100 million card-carrying members in a country of about 400 million families, so on average, one in every four Chinese citizens has an immediate relative in the CCP.The US State Department website also released a press statement, titled “New Visa Policies Put America First, Not China”.In this statement, Rubio added: “We will also revise visa criteria to enhance scrutiny of all future visa applications from the People’s Republic of China and Hong Kong.”

This move comes a day after Rubio circulated a memo saying that the US had ordered its foreign embassies tovisa interviews for all foreign students while the State Department plans to expand the vetting of applicants’ social media.

All goods that enter Russia, whether through official distribution channels or as parallel imports, must be declared to customs, which records information including the name of the shipper, the consignee and the quantity of the shipment.While customs data does not formally distinguish between imports based on whether they were authorised by the manufacturer, importing companies that have no official relationship with the manufacturer are an indication of parallel imports.

In the weeks after the invasion, shipments of iPhones to Russia virtually ceased.Only about 200kg (440 pounds) of the devices - the equivalent of about 400 iPhones - were imported into Russia in the first three months after the invasion, according to Russian import data provided by Import Genius, compared with about 200 tonnes in January 2022 alone.
