Police in New South Wales are warning that a new “authority scam” is targeting Chinese community members, especially international students, by posing as Chinese police or officials and threatening arrest unless victims quickly transfer money or cryptocurrency. Recent reports show a sharp increase in incidents across Sydney’s inner‑city, southern and eastern districts, with one 22‑year‑old student losing more than $400,000 after being told she was linked to a “known terrorist” and that her family would be arrested if she didn’t pay. Scammers are using apps such as WeChat and employing intimidation tactics, prompting police to urge anyone contacted by such schemes to report them to the National Anti‑Scam Centre.

US to begin revoking visas of some Chinese students

Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the U.S. will begin revoking the visas of some Chinese students, “including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields.” His announcement Wednesday adds to the uncertainty for America’s international students, who have faced intensifying scrutiny from President Donald Trump’s administration. China is the second-largest country of origin for international students in the United States, behind only India. In the 2023-2024 school year, more than 270,000 international students were from China, making up roughly a quarter of all foreign students in the U.S. On Tuesday, Rubio halted the scheduling of new visa interviews for international students.

Canadian universities brace for Chinese students' return, Beijing orders them back

Immigration data suggest tens of thousands of Chinese students in Canada may have returned to China during the pandemic. But now Canadian universities and officials say they are getting ready to welcome some back, after the Chinese government ordered students taking online classes with foreign universities to return overseas.
