‘DEPORT XI JINPING'S DAUGHTER!': MAGA amid US visa crackdown on Chinese students
American far-right MAGA activist Laura Loomer called for the deportation of Chinese President Xi Jinping's daughter following US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's announcement that the United States will begin 'aggressively' revoking visas of Chinese students.
US President Donald Trump's administration has intensified efforts to deport people and revoke student visas as part of its broader hardline immigration agenda.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a post on X, 'The U.S. will begin revoking visas of Chinese students, including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields.'
In a statement, Rubio added that the State Department will revise visa criteria to impose stricter scrutiny on all future applications from China and Hong Kong.
Replying to this, Loomer said, 'LET'S GO! DEPORT XI JINPING'S DAUGHTER! She lives in Massachusetts and went to Harvard! Sources tell me PLA guards from the CCP provide her with private security on US soil in Massachusetts!'
China's Foreign Ministry previously pledged to 'firmly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests' of its students abroad, in response to the Trump administration's decision to revoke Harvard University's authority to enroll foreign students—a move that would significantly impact Chinese nationals studying there.

'So much for being nice guy': Donald Trump reignites trade tensions, warns China it has violated tariff deal
US president Donald Trump on Friday again raised tensions amid the ongoing tariff war with China, attacking Beijing for "totally violating its agreement with the US", and adding that he was no longer going to be "Mr. Nice Guy". In a post on Turth Social, Trump said: "Two weeks ago China was in grave economic danger! The very high Tariffs I set made it virtually impossible for China to trade into the United States marketplace which is, by far, number one in the World. We went, in effect, cold turkey with China, and it was devastating for them. Many factories closed and there was, to put it mildly, "civil unrest". I saw what was happening and didn't like it, for them, not for us. I made a fast deal with China in order to save them from what I thought was going to be a very bad situation, and I didn't want to see that happen. Because of this deal, everything quickly stabilised and China got back to business as usual. Everybody was happy! That is the good news!!! The bad news is that China, perhaps not surprisingly to some, has totally violated its agreement with US. So much for being Mr. NICE GUY!" US trade representative Jamieson Greer, in a CNBC interview on Friday, echoed Trump's allegation, saying "we are very concerned with" China's purported non-compliance with the temporary trade deal. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Has Honda Done It Again? The New Honda CR-V is Finally Here. TheFactualist Undo The "United States did exactly what it was supposed to do, and the Chinese are slow rolling their compliance,"said Greer. He called that "completely unacceptable and has to be addressed." US-China trade war The US-China trade war escalated significantly under Trump's leadership, with tariffs reaching unprecedented levels, including a 145% tariff on Chinese imports as part of the so-called "Liberation Day" trade package. These tariffs caused China's manufacturing sector to contract sharply, with the Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) dropping to its lowest in 16 months, signaling a decline in factory activity and export orders. The tariffs disrupted China's export sector, with some estimates showing cargo shipments fell by as much as 60%, and the broader economy also showed signs of weakening growth. Trade deal Following the economic strain, a historic trade agreement was reached in May in Geneva, where both the US and China agreed to reduce tariffs by 115% while maintaining an additional 10% tariff. China also agreed to remove retaliatory tariffs and suspend non-tariff countermeasures against the US. This deal was hailed by the Trump administration as a significant win, aimed at addressing unfair trade practices and reducing the massive US trade deficit with China. Fresh tensions However, despite the deal and initial stabilisation, Trump has now accused China of completely violating the agreement. The latest statement comes amid a volley of punitive measures by the US against China, including revoking visas for Chinese students and halting sales of critical technologies to Chinese firms. US officials expressed frustration that China failed to fulfill key commitments, such as easing export restrictions on rare earth minerals vital for advanced technologies. These developments underscore the ongoing tensions and the fragile nature of the trade relationship between the two economic superpowers. The economic impact of the tariffs and trade conflict has been significant on both sides. The US economy experienced a contraction in early 2025, with slowed growth, higher consumer prices, job losses, and market volatility. Retailers raised prices due to increased operational costs, and inflation rates have climbed. The uncertainty and disruptions caused by the tariffs have also unsettled financial markets, reflecting broader concerns about the stability of global trade. China's response to the trade war has extended beyond tariffs, including export controls and diplomatic efforts to counter U.S. measures. Beijing has warned against yielding to US tariff pressures and has threatened retaliation against countries that cooperate with US trade policies targeting China. Despite government stimulus efforts, China's GDP growth is expected to fall below official targets, indicating ongoing economic headwinds.

SHIVAKUMAR'S NEHRU CLAIM CHALLENGED Wadiyar, through a series of posts on X, contested the Deputy Chief Minister's claim that HAL was established in Bengaluru by Nehru. Shivakumar had said, 'As our first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru ji gave us, it is a base.'The BJP MP, in a thread of tweets explained the history of HAL and its establishment. HAL was founded in 1940 by Indian industrialist and 'Father of Transportation in India' Walchand Hirachand, with support from American businessman and then president China National Aviation Corporation William D Pawley, and the Kingdom of had nothing to do with HAL,' Wadiyar stated, offering a detailed historical rebuttal, asserting that the first Prime Minister of independent India had no role in HAL's founding. 'William D Pawley, president of InterContinent Corporation, had earlier partnered with China's Nationalist government to start CAMCO, which assembled Hawk 75 and CW-21 fighter aircraft, in 1933.'Wadiyar went on to narrate how, in October 1939, Pawley met Hirachand on a Pan Am Clipper flight to Hong Kong. It was during this meeting that the idea of manufacturing aircraft in India was floated. Pawley visited India in July 1940 and obtained British approval for the project. Hirachand, however, failed to convince shareholders of The Scindia Steam Navigation Company to back the BJP leader then explained why Hirachand turned to the princely states when — Baroda, Gwalior, Bhavnagar and Mysore — when private support became elusive. According to Wadiyar, only his ancestor Jayachamaraja Wadiyar, the Maharaja of Mysore, stepped forward with recounted how the Mysore government, in October 1940, under the Maharaja, granted 700 acres of land and invested Rs 25 lakh in shares to support the venture after Hirachand and Pawley arrived in ESTABLISHMENT DETAILSadvertisementHindustan Aircraft Company was incorporated on December 23, 1940, under the Mysore Companies Act, with Hirachand as chairman.

Construction began on December 24, and by mid-January 1941, the first building and runway were to Wadiyar, the company's first order came from the British Government of India — 74 Vultee Attack Bombers, 30 Harlow PC5 Trainers, and 48 Curtis Hawk Fighters, all to be delivered by 1942. In April 1941, the British Indian Government injected an additional Rs 25 lakh into the the Japanese threat intensified, CAMCO shifted its machinery to Mysore STATE'S WARTIME ROLEWadiyar elaborated on the war years, noting that on August 29, 1941, the first Harlow Trainer was handed over to the Government of the Pearl Harbour attack and the loss of British naval strength in Malaya, fears of a Japanese invasion led the British to buy out Hirachand's shares in April 1942. The Mysore government, however, refused to sell its stake and only transferred control temporarily for the duration of the also pointed out that Hirachand made a profit of Rs 57 lakh from his Rs 25 lakh investment. In 1943, the United States Army Air Forces took over the factory, renamed it the 84th Air Depot, and used it as a major hub for Allied aircraft repairs in India and Burma. By the end of the war, it was one of Asia's largest aircraft overhaul facilities. 'During World War II, the British Indian Government paid the Mysore State a solatium of Rs 12.11 lakh to sterilise its interest,' Wadiyar said. 'Mysore State became an active partner again in April 1946,' he October 1,1964, the factory was restructured as Hindustan Aeronautics Limited under the Union Defence FOR RIGHTFUL RECOGNITIONTurning to the present, Wadiyar expressed disappointment over the lack of institutional memory and public Mysore State's pivotal role, HAL and the Karnataka government barely acknowledge the Maharaja's contribution to its establishment. Its website features only Walchand's photo,' he noted. He urged the government to refrain from rewriting history for political mileage: 'Instead of misrepresenting facts and glorifying the Nehru/Gandhi family — especially with false claims — the Karnataka government and the Deputy Chief Minister should focus on ensuring that HAL is strengthened and given the impetus it requires to become a leader in its sector.''Shivakumar should take pride in the fact that HAL was built by Karnataka's leaders and contributes to the progress of Bharat,' he concluded.
