The repercussions of this accusation extend far beyond academic standing for Yang. He has not only been expelled but also lost his visa status, which has left him currently residing in Africa. In a poignant reflection on his situation, Yang expressed, "My career is... dramatically changed."

This dynamic has prompted deeper concerns regarding the motives behind this case and what it insinuates about the treatment of international students at the university.
