US Revokes Student Visas: China, Naturally, Throws a Hissy Fit

The Chinese Foreign Ministry, in a move as predictable as a panda eating bamboo, has condemned the US for having the sheer audacity to revoke student visas. Oh, the humanity! How dare America play the security card when all China wants is to send its brightest and best to study the art of hacking at Silicon Valley.
Beijing, ever the victim, cried out that this was a 'political and discriminatory' decision, probably right before they had their daily 3 PM meeting to discuss ways to undermine global democracy. As if the US hasn't got enough on its plate, now they have to deal with the tantrums of a nation that pretends to be all about harmony and peace while they line up their missiles.
And here comes Marco Rubio, with his big boy pants on, thinking he can just announce visa revocations like he's canceling a Netflix subscription. Clearly, Rubio doesn't understand the delicate balance of international relations, or perhaps he does, and he's just stirring the pot. Either way, the US and China are now locked in a battle of wits, where one side forgot to bring any.
