Amidst new visa regulations in the United States, Xi Mingze, daughter of Chinese President Xi Jinping, is in the spotlight. Questions are being raised about her continued stay in the US, where she studied at Harvard University.
China: The ongoing tension between the world's two largest powers, the US and China, has taken a new turn. Recently, US President Donald Trump implemented stringent measures, including cuts to Harvard University's funding and the revocation of visas for Chinese students. Following this decision, one name has unexpectedly emerged in the discussions—Xi Mingze, the daughter of Chinese President Xi Jinping. Xi Mingze herself is a Harvard University alumna, raising the question: if the US revokes visas for Chinese students, will Xi Mingze also be affected?
Harvard University and Trump's Dissatisfaction
Donald Trump has adopted a harsh stance against Harvard University. The Trump administration alleges that Harvard University failed to comply with regulations, leading to the reduction in its funding. Furthermore, US Senator Marco Rubio clarified that the US will aggressively revoke the visas of Chinese students directly linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Why is Xi Mingze's Name Linked to this Controversy?
Xi Mingze is the only daughter of Chinese President Xi Jinping and renowned singer Peng Liyuan. Reports suggest that Xi Mingze gained admission to Harvard University in 2010 under a pseudonym to maintain her privacy. She graduated in 2014 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and English. It is said that Mingze possesses a remarkable ability to read people's intentions instantly. This has led to questions on social media regarding whether she would be impacted by the US's potential visa revocations for Chinese students.
What is Xi Mingze's Personal Life Like?
Xi Mingze has always been cautious about her privacy. According to some media reports, she studied at Harvard University under an alias to avoid public identification. Taiwanese media reports indicate that she is accompanied by 24-hour Chinese bodyguards, and even the FBI assists in her security arrangements. According to the WantChina Times, Mingze is described as an ordinary and amicable individual who enjoys reading and fashion.

Mao Ning, spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated that the US has wrongly revoked visas for Chinese students under the pretext of "ideology and national security." According to Mao Ning, China has lodged a b protest with the US and demanded a reconsideration of its decision.
