Beijing:
The resumption of student visa applications at U.S. missions in China got off to an acrimonious start this week when netizens took exception to an American embassy social media post they interpreted as likening Chinese students to dogs.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump, whose time in office was marked by tense relations in Beijing, had in January last year barred nearly all non-U.S. citizens who were in China from entering the United States after the coronavirus outbreak.
On the Twitter-like Weibo service on Wednesday, the visa section of the U.S. embassy in China asked students what they were waiting for after the Biden administration eased restrictions.

Harry Styles is being looked at to join the cast of the comedy series Why Are You Like This.
The series which previously ran on ABC for only one season back in 2018 has been picked up by Netflix for a second season and the show s creators are hoping the addition of Harry Styles will help draw more viewers this time around. Olivia Junkeer who plays Mia on the show is a huge Harry Styles fan. Co-Creator Naomi Higgins stated
I know Liv is really into Harry Styles, so if Harry Styles wants to reach out we will write you a character. He’s a guy who comes to town and finds himself in a love triangle with Austin and Mia.”
Neighbours star Olivia Junkeer has opened up about her role in the new Netflix series
Why Are You Like This, admitting that she initially felt really self-conscious about her character Mia.
In an
Digital Spy, Olivia – who
Neighbours fans will recognise as Yashvi Rebecchi – revealed what was so nerve-wracking about portraying Mia, as well as the differences between working on a comedy and the iconic Aussie soap.
In
Why Are You Like This, Olivia plays Mia, a bisexual South Asian woman who does a lot of unlikeable things – and it was that controversial side of Mia s personality that Olivia originally worried about.
