China has introduced a new visa policy aimed at attracting skilled foreign professionals, particularly in science, technology, and innovation fields. The initiative is part of Beijing’s broader strategy to enhance its competitiveness in the global tech landscape. By easing entry requirements and offering career opportunities for international experts, China hopes to position itself as a major hub for innovation and research — challenging similar programs in the United States and other Western countries. Analysts see the move as a significant step toward reducing China’s reliance on foreign technology while promoting domestic growth in AI, semiconductor development, and advanced manufacturing sectors.
