美国限制中国人民解放军利用非移民签证项目非法获得美国技术和知识产权
特朗普总统（President Trump）于5月29日发布公告，限制中国人民解放军滥用非移民学生和研究人员签证项目的行为。特朗普政府（Trump Administration）坚持要求与中华人民共和国的关系实现公平和对等，同时继续高度重视外国学生和研究人员做出的重大贡献，其中包括来自中国的这类人员。但是本届政府也坚定地要求保护我国的国家和经济安全。我们不允许中华人民共和国为了达到中国的军事目的试图非法从我国学术机构和研究设施获得美国的技术和知识产权。
总统发布的公告暂停中华人民共和国任何其学术或研究活动可能对中华人民共和国执行和支持中国共产党“军民融合”战略的实体提供支持的国民持F或J签证入境美国从事学习或研究，除从事本科学习的学生外。我们上星期五的行动是中华人民共和国政府采取有关战略和政策的直接结果。这些战略和政策利用中国某些最有才华的研究生和研究人员接触某些目标领域的机会，从美国机构转移和盗窃敏感技术和知识产权，不正当地利用我国开放与合作式的学术和研究环境达到利己的目的。这项行动将有助于保护美国的国家和经济安全利益及美国研究事业的效益和安全。
我们关注的是中国共产党及某些特定人员的恶意行为，不是中国人民。中华人民共和国政府为实现其军事利益所选中、拉拢和利用的研究生和研究人员，在申请赴美签证的中国学生和研究人员中占一小部分。我们期待新的签证政策将有助于为美国和中国学者进行更有诚意的交往提供一个更有益的开放和透明的环境。与此同时，美国将继续尽一切努力保护美国的技术和机构，保证我国的国家和经济安全继续得到保障，不受外国的干涉。

U.S. Limits the People’s Liberation Army’s Ability to Use Nonimmigrant Visa Programs to Illicitly Acquire U.S. Technologies and Intellectual Property
On May 29 President Trump issued a proclamation that limits the People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) ability to misuse nonimmigrant student and researcher visa programs. The Trump Administration is committed to achieving a fair and reciprocal relationship with the People’s Republic of China (PRC), and also continues to value the important contributions of international students and researchers, including from China.  However, the Administration is also committed to protecting our national and economic security. We will not tolerate PRC attempts to illicitly acquire American technology and intellectual property from our academic institution and research facilities for Chinese military ends.   
The President’s proclamation suspends the entry into the United States of any People’s Republic of China national seeking to enter the United States pursuant to an F or J visa to study or conduct research in the United States, except for a student seeking to pursue undergraduate study, where the individual’s academic or research activities are likely to support a PRC entity that implements and supports the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) “military-civil fusion” strategy.  Our actions last Friday are a direct consequence of PRC government strategies and policies that exploit the access of some of China’s brightest graduate students and researchers, in targeted fields, to divert and steal sensitive technologies and intellectual property from U.S. institutions, taking undue advantage of our open and collaborative academic and research environment.  This action will help safeguard U.S. national and economic security interests and the productivity and security of the U.S. research enterprise. 
Our concern is with the malign actions of the Chinese Communist Party and specific individuals, not with the Chinese people.  The graduate students and researchers who are targeted, co-opted, and exploited by the PRC government for its military gain represent a small subset of Chinese student and researcher visa applicants coming to the United States.  We expect this new visa policy will contribute to an improved, open, and transparent environment in which U.S. and Chinese scholars can engage with greater trust. At the same time, the United States will continue do everything in its power to safeguard U.S. technology and institutions, and to ensure our national and economic security remain safe and free from foreign interference.
