"China's Students Caught in US-China Tensions Storm"
In the US, visas are now hard to get, Chinese students face a uncertain plot.

She was headed to Michigan, to study with glee,
But her application was rejected, oh misery.
She felt like a duckweed, tossed in the wind and rain,
Uncertain and helpless, with no clear gain.
She had the acceptance letter, but still no visa in hand,
Her plans were foiled, by a bureaucratic stand.

She had the acceptance letter, but still no visa in hand,
Her plans were foiled, by a bureaucratic stand.
She thought she'd narrowly escaped, the recent bombshells and stress,
But now her application was rejected, what a mess.
She's ready for plan B, a gap year or two,
To wait and see if things get better, before she'll pursue.

A valid visa may not be enough, she adds with a sigh,
Students with visas could be stopped, and deported, oh why?
It's bad for every Chinese student, a bleak and uncertain fate,
The only difference is how bad, it's a heavy weight.

China sent the most foreign students, to American campuses before,
But now those numbers are slipping, as the relationship sours.

A clash of supremacy, with no end in sight, oh what a check.

A student with ties to the military, had his visa revoked one day,

A psychology major, spent a year applying for PhD programs too,
But only one university offered, with a "we rarely give offers to you" clue.

Returning home to China, was not easy for some,
Their US degrees, no longer coveted, just a obstacle to overcome.

But now their degrees, don't draw the same reaction, oh what a whirl.
