Hong Kong universities are actively recruiting international students affected by the Trump administration's attempt to ban Harvard from accepting foreign students. Following a US judge's temporary block of the ban, Hong Kong's education bureau urged its universities to offer support and admission to affected students, aiming to attract top talent. The Hong Kong Science and Technology University has already extended unconditional offers and streamlined admissions to eligible students. The ban, which Harvard is legally contesting, has sparked significant debate, with concerns raised about its impact on global academic competitiveness and US-China relations.
