China Seeks US-Style Immigration Policy to Boost Tech Competitiveness

China is looking to adopt a more efficient immigration system to attract foreign tech talent, according to a Chinese public policy analyst. Li Mingbo, deputy dean of the Guangzhou Institute of the Greater Bay Area, suggests that China can learn from the US immigration strategies to stay competitive in the global tech race. China has introduced new K visas for young science and technology specialists from overseas, but Li notes that the country lacks an immigration system tailored for hi-tech talent. He emphasizes the need for China to promote its K visas more efficiently, citing the US as a model. The US has tightened its visa policies, but Li believes that China can still learn from its approach to attracting foreign tech talent. China's ability to adapt and innovate will be crucial in the intensifying global tech competition.
