Washington ¨C Harvard University¡¯s links to China, long an asset to the school, have become a liability as the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump levels accusations that its campus is plagued by Beijing-backed influence operations.
On Thursday, the administration moved to revoke Harvard¡¯s ability to enroll foreign students, saying it fostered antisemitism and coordinated with the Chinese Communist Party.

A U.S. judge on Friday temporarily blocked the administration¡¯s order after the Cambridge, Massachusetts, university sued.
