China on Monday (September 22, 2025) refused to comment on the move of US President Donald Trump to impose a heavy duty of $ 1,00,000 for H-1B visas, but also invited global professionals to work in the country. China is preparing to start a new employment visa next month.

On Friday, the Trump administration announced a lump sum of US $ 1,00,000 on H-1B visas. When asked about Trump’s decision in a press conference here, Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said, “We will not comment on the US visa policy.”

China started K-Visa ‘Work Permit’

Along with this, he invited global professionals to work in China. He said, ‘In the globalized world, the border movement of talent plays an important role in global technology and economic progress. China welcomes talents from different regions around the world, so that they come to China for the progress of humanity and success of career.

While the US is tightening its visa system, China has announced a new ‘work permit’ called K-Viza last month, under which a qualified professional from all over the world can come to the country and find work opportunities.

Invitation from domestic employer or institution is not necessary

The K-visja, which is effective from October 1, is aimed at attracting youth science and technology talent and for this there is no need to issue invitations from any domestic employer or institution. The new visa category was approved by ‘State Council’

According to the government news agency ‘Xinhua’, last month it was signed by Prime Minister Lee Qing as part of China’s entry and amendment in exit rules. In the backdrop of trade talks with the US, China has kept silence on the H-1B issue, where the student and work visa is also being discussed.

US President Donald Trump signed an announcement on Friday (September 19, 2025), under which there is a provision to increase the H1B visa fee to US $ 1,00,000 (Rs 88 lakh) annually. For this fee, the first $ 10,000 (8 to 10 lakh) was fixed. Trump’s move is expected to adversely affect Indian professionals working in America.

At the same time, US Commerce Minister Howard Lutnik was seen justifying this decision of Trump. He said, ‘Is that person so precious that the company should give $ 100,000 to the government every year. This is the purpose of immigration. Keep Americans on jobs, make sure the people coming to the top talent. The President’s attitude is very clear. The top talent is only for America, stop rubbish. ‘

Only capable people get entry into America

Howard Lutnik insisted, ‘The purpose of this policy of Trump is to ensure that only capable people get admission. The company will have to decide. Do they want this, is the person so valuable that he should get a payment of one million dollars annually, or should he return home and achieve even more high status in America? ‘

He said, ‘If someone has to train, then give training to the youths who have completed studies from good universities of our country, train Americans. Do not snatch our jobs by bringing people from outside.

Technical companies dependent on foreign talent

Trump has already been questioning the H-1B visa. This visa is especially important for technical companies, as they are very dependent on foreign talent. According to government data, people with about two-thirds of H-1B visas are done in computer and tech related work. However, this visa is also used to hire engineers, teachers and health sector employees.

President Donald Trump has announced that now a fee of US $ 100,000 will be mandatory with every application.

Tech companies response

After the announcement of Trump, big tech companies immediately reacted. Microsoft advised its employees to stay in America. Amazon, Meta and Google’s original company Alphabet asked the employees who went out to return. Financial organization JP Morgan also issued a similar consultation.

– This rule will apply only to new visas. Not on old visa holders or their renewal.
