「双语」例行记者会/RegularPressConference（2021-7-6）(3)

CCTV: More than 500 Chinese students recently co-signed a letter to the Chinese Embassy in the US, saying that their visa applications were denied by the US. Do you have any comment?
赵立坚：我们注意到，近日部分中国留学生在申请赴美签证时，被美方以违反特朗普政府时期签署的第10043号总统令为由拒绝。中方对此表示严重关切，已向美方提出严正交涉。人文交流是中美关系的根基。学术、教育与科技交流是中美人文交流的重要组成部分，对增进两国人民相互理解认知、推动中美关系稳定发展有重要意义。
Zhao Lijian: We have noted that recently some Chinese students" visa applications to study in the US were denied on the grounds that they violated Presidential Proclamation 10043 signed under the Trump administration. China expresses grave concern over this and has lodged solemn representations with the US side. People-to-people exchanges are the foundation of China-US relations. Academic, educational, scientific and technological exchanges are an important part of the bilateral people-to-people exchanges. They are of great significance to enhancing mutual understanding between the two peoples and promoting the steady development of China-US ties.
