A third German source - the internet-site of a weekly magazine comparing to Der Spiegel - now confirms restrictions on Visa, and the situation concerning the banning of foreign students to be confused and unclear. At least two universities in Bejing have confirmed the ban so far, however. The Chinese foreign ministry so far does not comment and neither confirms nor rejects. Maybe they play the waiting game to see if they can get through with it without spiking major international protests, and if not, claim to have been misunderstood from the beginning.
