China has introduced its first-ever “K-visa” to attract foreign professionals, just as the United States tightens rules on H-1B visas. While supporters see a chance to fortify China’s tech sector with new expertise, jobless youth in the country question the move’s impact on local employment.

Higher H-1B visa fees, aimed at protecting American jobs, may cause US employers to offshore positions rather than hire domestically. While this policy seeks to boost local employment, it could have the opposite effect if businesses turn to overseas labor to cut costs.
