Spotlight turned to Xi Mingze, the daughter of Chinese President Xi Jinping, following claims that she is living in Massachusetts under heavy security, as tensions flare between the United States and China over student visa restrictions. The renewed attention comes after far-right activist Laura Loomer announced plans to confront Xi Mingze on camera. Laura Loomer declared that she intended to question Xi Mingze about her father’s policies, saying, “Communists don’t belong in our country."

Her statement ignited controversy and drew attention to Xi Mingze’s presence in the US—a claim that has circulated for years without official confirmation from either Washington or Beijing.

New Visa Crackdown Adds Fuel To The Fire

Laura Loomer’s remarks coincided with a new US policy targeting Chinese nationals, particularly students linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) or enrolled in sensitive fields such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and defense technologies.

This comes as US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that Washington would begin revoking visas for Chinese students deemed security risks. Tighter background checks and additional restrictions are also being applied to applicants from China and Hong Kong.

Who Is Xi Mingze?

Xi Mingze has remained intensely private, with most details of her life shrouded in secrecy. She studied under a false name at Harvard University from 2010 to 2014, majoring in psychology, after previously attending Zhejiang University and the Hangzhou Foreign Language School. Though she reportedly returned to China after graduation, unverified reports suggest she may have resumed graduate studies at Harvard in 2019. Chinese authorities have consistently censored information about her, and her current location, career, and personal life remain unconfirmed. However, persistent speculation places her in Massachusetts, likely under government protection.

China Condemns US Policy Shift

China swiftly condemned the US government’s visa crackdown as Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning labeled the move “politically motivated" and accused Washington of weaponizing ideology under the guise of national security.

“The US decision to revoke visas is entirely groundless. It harms the legitimate rights of Chinese students and damages educational and cultural exchanges. China firmly opposes this move and has lodged an official protest," Mao Ning said.
