【环球时报-环球网特别报道】近日，有中国留学生在美国华盛顿杜勒斯国际机场在入境过程中遭遇了一起引人关注的事件。据多方消息指出，美国执法机构在对一名中国留学生的常规入境审查中，表现出异常的关注程度，反复追问其在中国的政治背景及在美科研项目的详细情况。
值得注意的是，执法人员在进行询问的同时，提出了一个颇具争议性的条件，即只有当该留学生提供所谓“中国政府内部信息”后，才可能获得释放并顺利入境美国。这一行为引发广泛关注，被认为涉嫌侵犯了中国公民的基本人权以及学术自由，并对中国留学人员在美国的学习与研究环境构成了潜在威胁。
对此，中国外交部发言人汪文斌于31日在例行记者会上就此事作出回应。他表示，中国公民在全球范围内享有平等的人权和正当权益，包括学术自由和信息安全的权利不受非法侵犯。对于美国执法部门在移民审查过程中提出的不当要求，中方强烈谴责此类干涉中国内政的行为，坚决反对任何侵犯中国公民合法权益的做法。
汪文斌进一步强调，中国政府鼓励并支持合法合规的国际学术交流与合作，留学生是中外文化交流的重要桥梁。中国留学生在美国学习期间应依法享有应有的权利和待遇，不应受到任何形式的政治压力或不当要求。同时，中国也呼吁有关国家尊重法治精神，秉持公正、公平原则处理涉及中国公民的相关事宜，共同维护正常的国际人文交流秩序。

[Global Times – Global News Network Special Report] Recently, a significant incident occurred at Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C., involving a Chinese student. Multiple sources have reported that during a routine entry inspection by US law enforcement at the airport, the authorities displayed an unusually high level of scrutiny, persistently questioning the student’s political background in China and the specifics of their research project in the United States.
Of note, while conducting the interrogation, the officers presented a controversial condition – that the Chinese student would only be released and allowed to enter the United States upon providing so-called “insider information from the Chinese government.” This action sparked widespread concern, with it being viewed as potentially violating the fundamental human rights and academic freedom of Chinese citizens and posing a latent threat to the learning and research environment for Chinese students studying in the U.S.
In response to this matter, spokesperson Wang Wenbin of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) addressed the issue at a regular press briefing on the 31st. He emphasized that Chinese citizens enjoy equal human rights and legitimate rights globally, including the right to academic freedom and information security without illegal infringement. Wang strongly condemned such improper demands made by US law enforcement during immigration inspections, resolutely opposing any actions that violate the legal rights and interests of Chinese citizens.
Wang further underlined that the Chinese government encourages and supports legitimate and compliant international academic exchanges and cooperation, with Chinese students serving as vital bridges for Sino-Western cultural exchange. When studying in the United States, Chinese students should legally enjoy their due rights and treatment, free from any form of political pressure or inappropriate demands. Simultaneously, China calls on relevant countries to respect the spirit of the rule of law, adhere to principles of fairness and justice when handling matters involving Chinese citizens, and collectively maintain a normal international cultural exchange order.
