(Fighting against New Coronary Pneumonia) Chinese Embassy in the United States Talks about International Students Going to Summer
China News Agency, Washington, April 29. The Chinese Embassy in the United States released an interview with the head of the Education Office on the 29th to analyze the situation of the new US epidemic and give suggestions on whether international students spend the summer vacation in the United States.
Yang Xinyu, Counsellor of the Education Section of the Chinese Embassy in the United States, pointed out in a conversation that how to look at the question of whether students returning to the United States during the summer vacation needs to distinguish between two different groups of international students. Students and fresh graduates who wish to continue their studies or work in the United States. The suggestion whether to return to China during the summer is mainly for the latter.
The embassy in the United States reminded international students to consider this issue in terms of "security in epidemic prevention, economic rationality, and the feasibility of returning to the United States after returning to the country."
The embassy in the United States pointed out that no matter from the domestic epidemic situation in China or from the perspective of parents, if the children can come back in the summer, they will feel more at ease. But we must also consider that the risk of cross-infection on the way back to China does exist. The issue of epidemic prevention security is the first thing to think of.
The embassy in the United States believes that the feasibility of returning to the United States after returning to China is actually a key issue, and it is also difficult to predict. If the university where the international student is located officially resumes classes in September, and the immigration restrictions adopted by the US government have not been lifted, students returning home for the summer vacation will face very real problems.
Regarding summer accommodation, the embassy in the United States has obtained preliminary knowledge from universities such as Duke University, Virginia Tech, and Arizona State University. If international students apply to the school for summer accommodation, the school will consider making arrangements. However, the embassy in the United States also suggested that international students should make two-hand preparations and pay attention to the source of rented housing outside the school.
The embassy in the United States pointed out that the overall situation of the US epidemic is still grim. If the United States continues to take effective measures for prevention and control, it is expected that the overall slowdown in the epidemic situation should be a major trend in the future. What is more clear is that the epidemic has not caused a major impact on the basic life of American society, and the supply of daily necessities is still guaranteed.
The embassy in the United States stated that the question of whether to return to the country for the summer vacation is not easy to answer. In addition to considering various factors such as epidemic prevention, economics, and future re-entry, it is also necessary to determine the specific circumstances of living in the United States. Safe and most suitable choice. (Finish)
