A new China tech visa has caught India's attention - now locals aren't happy

China has introduced a new tech visa program, the "High-level Foreign Talents Visa," aimed at attracting global talent. This move has caught the attention of India, as it comes at a time when the US is making it more difficult for foreign workers to enter the country. The new Chinese visa offers a streamlined application process and incentives, such as allowing spouses to work and providing access to public services. This has raised concerns among local Chinese tech workers, who fear increased competition from foreign talent. Critics argue that the program may prioritize foreign expertise over domestic talent, potentially leading to resentment and a brain drain from within China. However, proponents believe the program is necessary to maintain China's technological edge and competitiveness in the global market. The introduction of this visa highlights the ongoing global competition for skilled technology workers, as countries strive to attract and retain top talent to drive innovation and economic growth.
