China K-Visa: China has launched a new K-Visa program, which aims to provide opportunities for science and technology experts from around the world to work in China. China’s K-Visa program appears to be competing with the US H-1B visa.
China recently launched the K-Visa program. The purpose of this visa program is to encourage science and technology experts from around the world to work in the country. The K-Visa is specifically designed for young people with skills in the science and technology sectors. The best part about this visa is that you don’t need a prior job offer to obtain it. This visa is an opportunity for those who want to work in China but are not currently associated with a company.
China’s K-visa program appears to be competing with the US H-1B visa program. Recently, H-1B visas have been limited due to stricter immigration policies. Let’s learn everything about it.
China is becoming an option in place of America
According to the AP report, Indian IT expert Vaishnavi Srinivasagopalan considers this new K-visa a promising career opportunity. She says that China’s technology sector is rapidly growing and its work culture is becoming globally attractive. Meanwhile, after Donald Trump tightened immigration policies in the US and raised the H-1B visa fee to $100,000, many foreign students and professionals are now turning to China as an option.
According to Edward Hu, director of Shanghai-based consultancy Newland Chase, many professionals from India and Southeast Asia are showing interest in the K-visa program.
Showing interest in visa
The Chinese Communist Party aims to achieve global leadership in technology and innovation. To this end, the government is making large-scale investments in sectors such as artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and robotics. To address issues such as unemployment and skills shortages within the country, China is now focusing on attracting foreign talent. According to experts, working in China is not easy; language barriers and internet censorship, the “Great Firewall,” pose significant challenges for foreign workers.
