Beijing urged the U.S. Tuesday to “correct its mistake” of denying visas to more than 500 Chinese students linked to China’s military over concerns that they may steal intellectual property and sensitive technology to enhance the People’s Liberation Army (PLA).

And they have separated loved ones, inflicting pain that will ripple for years to come. They are just plain wrong.
