Harvard University's links to China, long an asset to the school, have become a liability as the Trump administration levels accusations that its campus is plagued by Beijing-backed influence operations.

The Trump administration's push to end Harvard University's ability to enroll foreign students is partly because of "coordinated activity" with the Chinese Communist Party.
