【Global Times Correspondent Bai Yuan】As the U.S. government recently raised H-1B visa fees to $100,000, causing panic and chaos, China's upcoming K visa, which will take effect on October 1, has drawn high attention from Indian media.
According to a report by Indian media on the 21st, on an international flight departing from San Francisco, news about the H-1B visa caused panic among Indian passengers in the cabin. (From The Times of India website)
"In the chaos of President Trump's H-1B visa policy, China has opened its doors to global talent through the K visa," reported New Delhi Television on the 22nd. Compared to China's existing 12 categories of regular visas, the K visa offers more convenience for visa holders in terms of entry frequency, validity period, and length of stay. This latest move is part of China's efforts in recent years to continuously simplify visa rules to promote international exchanges. The Economic Times of India stated that China's new visa policy aligns with its strategy of building a strong nation through talent, emphasizing innovation and global cooperation.
The Indian Express on the 22nd said that after President Trump introduced his "suicidal" H-1B policy, China once again seized the opportunity. Policies under Trump's "Make America Great Again" initiative, the sharp increase in H-1B visa fees, bureaucratic obstacles in the United States, and hostile rhetoric are pushing global science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) talents into China's embrace. China nurtures, while the United States distances itself; China invests in long-term capacity building, while the United States destroys its own long-term capabilities for short-term gains. The Indian Express stated that Indian STEM talents and students face a harsh reality: the United States used to be the default destination for many people's career development, but it is now becoming increasingly hostile, while China's doors are more open than ever before.
At a press conference held by the Chinese Foreign Ministry on the 22nd, when asked about policies introduced by China to attract foreign talents, spokesperson Guo Jia Kun stated that in the era of globalization, the cross-border mobility of talents promotes technological progress and economic development worldwide. China welcomes outstanding talents from all industries and fields around the world to come to China, settle down in China, and jointly promote the continuous progress of human society and achieve personal career development.
