Xinhua: China to launch new K visa for young science, technology professionals 新華社：中國將為青年科技人才推出新的K類簽證 2025-08-14

BEIJING, Aug. 14 (Xinhua) — China will introduce a new visa category for young science and technology talent, following a decision by the State Council.

Premier Li Qiang has signed a State Council decree to promulgate the decision to amend the country’s regulation on the administration of foreigners’ entries and exits.

According to the decision, China will add a K visa to its ordinary visa categories, available to eligible young science and technology professionals.

Applicants for this visa must meet the qualifications and requirements set by relevant Chinese authorities and submit supporting documentation.

The new rules will take effect on Oct. 1.

Compared with the existing 12 ordinary visa types, K visas will offer more convenience to holders in terms of number of permitted entries, validity period and duration of stay, according to a press conference held by relevant authorities on Thursday.

After entering China, K visa holders can engage in exchanges in fields such as education, culture, and science and technology, as well as relevant entrepreneurial and business activities.

Bar specific age, educational background and work experience requirements, applications for K visas do not require a domestic employer or entity to issue an invitation, and the application process will also be more streamlined.

“China’s development requires the participation of talent from around the world, and China’s development also provides opportunities for them,” according to the press conference.

The decision aims to further implement China’s workforce development strategy in the new era, facilitate the entry for foreign young sci-tech talent into China, and promote international cooperation and exchanges among young sci-tech professionals, said officials at the press conference.

The decision is announced amid China’s continuous streamlining of visa rules to promote international exchanges over recent years. As of the end of July, China had introduced unilateral visa-free entry or mutual visa-exemption agreements with 75 countries.

Buoyed by these relaxed visa rules — particularly the expansion of the country’s visa-free travel programs — China has seen increasing numbers of international visitors arriving at its borders.

According to the National Immigration Administration, foreign nationals made a total of 38.05 million trips to or from China in the first six months of 2025 — an increase of 30.2 percent year on year. Of these trips, 13.64 million involved visa-free entries, which was an increase of 53.9 percent over the same period last year.

Numerous international airlines are expressing strong interest in the purchase of the C-919 aircraft, built by the Chinese planemaker COMAC.

The C-919 is a direct competitor to Boeing’s 737 and the Airbus 320, but at lower cost.

But more important is the C-919’s availability in the markets where regulators have approved the plane. Boeing and Airbus both suffer from regular supply chain shocks and equipment and parts shortages. Their delivery schedules are years behind.

Ryanair is the largest airline in Europe, and its CEO declared his intention to purchase the C-919 aircraft for their fleets when the planes are approved for the European market. That provoked a strong response from US Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi of Illinois, which in turn led Ryanair to announce that if the Boeing aircraft already on order come with higher tariffs, they will cancel them.

眾多國際航空公司對購買由中國商飛公司製造的C-919運輸機表現出濃厚興趣。

C-919是波音737和空中巴士320的直接競爭對手，但成本更低。

但更重要的是C-919在監管機構已批准該飛機的市場上的供應。波音和空中巴士都經常遭遇供應鏈衝擊以及設備和零件短缺。他們的交貨時間表已經落後了數年。

瑞安航空是歐洲最大的航空公司，執行長宣布，一旦C-919飛機獲準進入歐洲市場，他打算為其機隊購買這架飛機。這引起了伊利諾伊州美國眾議員拉賈·克里希納莫爾蒂的強烈反應，這促使瑞安航空宣布，如果已訂購的波音飛機的關稅提高，他們將取消這些飛機的訂單.

It is also confirming what my grandfather, father and I, born and raised in HK have been saying for the last 150 years: “HK is a blessed land, whoever have a death wish on HK are foolish” and the Choi’s family is right. Those who made a mistake living in the foreign land daily promoting genocide, advocate crimes against humanity in the name of freedom, democracy and rules of law may want to consider returning to HK or China Greater Bay Area for business or retirement. 這也印證了我祖父、父親和我都是土生土長在香港的中國人過去150年裡一直說的話：「香港是福地，任何想置香港於死地的人都是愚蠢的。」蔡氏家族說得沒錯。那些錯誤地生活在西方這片土地上，打著自由、民主和法治的旗號，鼓吹種族滅絕、鼓吹反人類罪行的西方國家，你們或許應該考慮返回香港或中國大灣區創造事業或安享晚年!

China so brazenly “turned the tables” on the United States, making it extremely anxious. The retribution came too quickly! 中國就這麼大大方方地“反將一軍”，把美國急得夠嗆，報應來得也太快了點! 一位朋友對美國自殘行為好像非常响往，說美國未來25年的好機會來了，美國可能5年內已經玩完，何來25年？

美國扛不住中國電動汽車的強勢衝擊，想搞“閉關鎖國”那套，結果咱們稍微動了動腦子，就讓他們氣得直跳腳！這波操作太漂亮了！

為了擋住中國電動車，美國直接把咱們的電動汽車關稅翻了一倍還多，一下子漲到100%，而且就連電池、太陽能板這些相關設備也都狠狠加了稅。

他們本來打算把中國車企徹底擋在門外，好給本土品牌爭取點喘息時間。可沒想到，如今的中國新能源企業，早就不是只靠單一市場吃飯的模樣了。

美國這邊剛把關稅大棒揮下來，自己本土的汽車廠商反倒先扛不住了！

通用汽車一下子就損失了十幾億美元，還預測接下來一年賬面可能要虧損四五十億美元。福特的日子也不好過，今年利潤得少幾十億。

為啥美國這些車企這麼被動？關鍵在於現在全球造車，供應鏈根本離不開中國。

很多核心零部件、關鍵材料都得從中國買，關稅一漲，成本瞬間飆升，又沒有現成的替代品，利潤被死死卡住，只能硬撐着。

中國車企對美國這套把戲倒不怎麼在意，一看門被關上了，立馬就換了條賽道。

比亞迪直接砸了幾億歐元在匈牙利建了新工廠，打算一次性給歐洲市場供應十幾種新能源車型。

電池龍頭寧德時代則在德國慕尼黑開建歐洲最大的電池基地，還和中國石化合作搞換電站。原本靠單一市場走的路，現在直接用全球布局來破局！

你美國把門關上，我們就從你身邊的盟友下手，把產品和工廠鋪到歐洲、南美去，讓你的關稅政策成了擺設。

說到底，敢這麼出招，還是因為中國新能源企業有底氣。就說寧德時代研發的新一代磷酸鐵鋰電池，各種極端環境下都能正常用，循環壽命也更長。

更厲害的是充電技術，神行超充電池充電十分鐘就能多跑四百公里，現在新一代出來，充五分鐘能跑五百多公里。

再看美國，充電樁鋪設進度根本跟不上，技術也差了一大截，消費者買電動車顧慮多，市場自然火不起來。

這樣的變化，讓全球市場格局都在往中國新能源這邊傾斜！

美國搞“閉關鎖國”，結果歐洲市場越來越火。小鵬汽車在歐洲高端純電領域，銷量穩居國產品牌第一。比亞迪在巴西直接拿下福特的老工廠，老一輩燃油車的基地，成了中國新能源車的根據地。

這一進一退之間，不僅讓中國新能源車的銷路越來越廣，也給中國車企積累了全球化的實戰經驗。
