US says no to foreign employees with H-1b relocation; China says ‘k’ – will Beijing score in Visa Game? – The Times of India

Although the US may have a prevention in the tariff war, China seems to score ahead in the visa game. The K -Vision of Beijing, which will come into effect from 1 October, is invoiced as a strategic tool to attract young foreign science and technology talent. The order will affect the H-1B visa chaos caused by the Donald Trump administration, which removes foreign talent to work in American companies in the long term.The K-visa is specifically aimed at graduates in STEM fields and researchers in the early career with at least a bachelor’s degree from recognized institutions worldwide. Unlike China’s existing work visa, it does not require applicants to secure a local employer before applying. Holders will be able to participate in education, research, entrepreneurship and business activities, making it a particularly flexible option for young professionals and innovators, according to a report from China briefing.

A sharp contrast with our visa dome

The launch comes when the US becomes tighter its immigration policy. Trump’s newest step to limit the H-1B visa, for a long time a magnet for skilled foreign employees, mainly Indian, has concerned with international students and professionals. China, on the other hand, sends the message: qualified talent is welcome here.In fact, the US said categorically that the motive behind its H-1B movement was powered by cheap “foreign labor” to replace American employees in various areas, including voice.“Unemployment among recent graduates of computer science has reached 6.1 percent and 7.5 percent for computer technology graduates – more than double the rates for Majors of biology or art history. The number of foreign voice employees in the United States has more than doubled between 2000 and 2019, while the total voice worker at the time rose only 44.5 percent, “said it.China’s K -Vision, on the other hand, is specifically aimed at young foreign science and technology professionals, and is seen as part of the wider urge of Beijing to lower the barriers for worldwide talent and to channel their skills in China’s Innovation Drive.

What’s in for India?

The figures from the US government show that Indians are good for more than 70% of the 85,000 H-1B-VISA that have been granted annually, with many beneficiaries built up their lives and career in America for decades. The H-1B visa movement would act as a deterrent for the future generations that want to leave the country for work.With the relations between India-China that show signs of relaxing trade and border dialogues, and both countries that are confronted with common trade friction with the US due to Russian oil purchases, Indian professionals now see new opportunities coming up on the market next to the door.
