BANGKOK (AP) — The Chinese government said Friday that the Trump administration’s move to ban international students from Harvard would harm America’s international standing, as anxious students and parents overseas fretted over what would come next.

Before a judge temporarily blocked Trump’s ban on Harvard from enrolling foreign students, China warned that the moved would “damage” America’s image.

The Trump administration is targeting Harvard University’s China ties in what may be the opening shot in a wider administration effort to compel U.S. schools to sever their relations with Chinese entities — or else.
