China Launches K-Visa to Attract Global Tech Talent Amid U.S. Policy Shifts

Chinas new K-visa program aims to attract global tech talent, particularly as stricter U.S. immigration policies, including changes to the H-1B visa, push professionals like those from India to seek opportunities elsewhere.

• Beijings introduction of the K-visa program specifically targets skilled workers in fields like artificial intelligence and information technology, providing a potential haven for foreign workers.
• Under Donald Trumps administration, the costs associated with the H-1B visa for foreign skilled workers rose to $100,000, prompting many professionals to consider relocating to countries like China.
• Vaishnavi Srinivasagopalan, a skilled Indian IT professional, exemplifies the growing trend of talent seeking opportunities in China due to the restrictive nature of U.S. immigration policies.
