Stuck between U.S. and China

Listen Later

Last week, the Trump administration announced a new policy that could force international students out of the United States if their universities move to online-only classes. This puts more than a quarter of a million Chinese students in the U.S. at risk of losing their visas. Students from Hong Kong are at special risk of being arrested upon their return due to a new Chinese security law.

  • Plus, a majority of American parents see risks of having kids return to classrooms this fall.
  • And, three different countries - the U.S., China and the United Arab Emirates - have planned launches to Mars this month.


    • Guests: Axios' Bethany Allen-Ebrahimian, Margaret Talev, and Miriam Kramer.


    Credits: "Axios Today" is produced in partnership with Pushkin Industries. The team includes Niala Boodhoo, Sara Kehaulani Goo, Carol Alderman, Cara Shillenn, Nuria Marquez Martinez, Naomi Shavin and Alex Sugiura. Music is composed by Evan Viola.
