Proclamation 10043 is a presidential proclamation signed by Donald Trump, the 45th US president, on May 29, 2020, in order to prohibit students in the People's Republic of China associated with the People's Liberation Army from obtaining F visas or J visas.




Effect


As was reported by Reuters in Sep 2020, visas of more than 1,000 Chinese students had been canceled. In June 2021, a survey of 310 students showed that most of students who had been rejected studied at one of the following eight universities:

Beihang University
Beijing Institute of Technology
Harbin Institute of Technology
Harbin Engineering University
Northwestern Polytechnical University
Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics
Nanjing University of Science and Technology
Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications
Otherwise, they were funded by China Scholarship Council.




Response


On June 10, 2021, the Association of American Universities, the American Council of Education, and 39 other associations sent a letter to the United States Department of State asking them to explain the scope of Proclamation 10043.
On July 6, 2021, during a regular press conference, Zhao Lijian, spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China, expressed "grave concern" and stated that China "has lodged solemn representations with the US side" regarding the enforcement of the proclamation.
On June 27, 2022, eighteen students filed a class action lawsuit against some United States government top officials and relevant entities. The plaintiffs also hosted a website called 10043.org to share their experiences. On June 22, 2023, the case was dismissed with prejudice and terminated by Judge Colin Stirling Bruce of the United States District Court for the Central District of Illinois. The dismissal came after the judge granted the Defendant's Motion to Dismiss filed by the defendants
