China stated its willingness to receive confirmed Chinese nationals from the United States, following threats from US President Donald Trump of tariffs and sanctions against countries that don't cooperate on deportations. The US Department of Homeland Security has been frustrated by China's perceived lack of cooperation in accepting tens of thousands of Chinese nationals under deportation orders. China maintains it will only accept individuals verified as Chinese citizens from the mainland.

Nonetheless, US Department of Homeland Security officials have been frustrated by what they say is Beijing's longstanding refusal to cooperate on repatriation by declining to issue travel documents. "As far as repatriation is concerned, China's principle is to receive the repatriates who are confirmed as Chinese nationals from the Chinese mainland after verification," Mao said, when asked if China would take back Chinese nationals who are in the US illegally or without documentation.
"We expect all countries to accept the repatriation of their citizens who are in the United States illegally," White House National Security Council spokesperson Brian Hughes said when asked about China's remarks.
