China has a visa for STEM graduates. .I'm told they are up in arms.

The "K visa" (often stylized as K-visa or #kvisa on social media) is a newly launched Chinese work visa category specifically targeting young international talent in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Officially introduced by China's National Immigration Administration, it took effect on October 1, 2025—just 11 days after the U.S. implemented stricter H-1B visa rules, including a $100,000 fee for employers sponsoring foreign workers. The K visa allows eligible applicants to enter China without a pre-arranged job offer, work, innovate, or conduct academic exchanges for up to two years (with options for renewal), and includes multiple-entry privileges. It's positioned as China's answer to global talent wars, aiming to bolster its tech sector amid U.S. restrictions.
Key Features and EligibilityTarget Audience: Primarily young STEM graduates (bachelor's or higher) from abroad, including fields like AI, engineering, and research. No employer sponsorship is required initially, making it more flexible than traditional work visas.
Duration and Flexibility: Up to 24 months, with the ability to job-hunt, start businesses, or collaborate on projects. Holders can transition to other visa types if needed.
Application Process: Pr[/b]ocessed through Chinese embassies/consulates; fees range from $500–$1,000, with approvals in 1–3 months. Proof of STEM qualifications (e.g., degree certificates) is essential.
[b]Broader Context
: This fits into China's expanding visa-free and transit policies (e.g., 30-day visa waivers for citizens of 47 countries, including recent additions like Russia and Indonesia), but the K visa is unique for its work-focused incentives.

Winston Churchill would be ashamed of this generation

The stereotype about European work places is that they have like a 2 hour lunch, then another 2 hour siesta during the day when their American counterparts are working to make a difference in the world

When was the last time any meaningful invention came out of Europe. That is why Russia bullies them on the battlefield yet they still buy Russian gas
How ridiculous. They are funding the same Russia who is bullying them

Every 2 weeks all their leaders from Starmer to Macron to Zelensky will be in white house begging America to help them fight their wars

Are you not ashamed? What type of G7 are those. There is a G1(America) and the European dwarves.

Liberalism brought about the downfall of Europe, America should learn from this

Good luck to the Great United States of America. God Bless America and those who wish good for it

While Novo Nordisk makes Ozempic, Eli Lilly makes its own version, Zepbund(Tzerpertide) or Wegovy(Semaglutide)
Ozempic makes the bulk of their money from USA
Left to Europe alone Novo nordisk will be broke now because they can barely afford it, Europe where they will be waiting for free stuff from govt

Being broke and not having money stifles investment

This is NOT accurate
Europe has spent more money in the Ukraine war effort than the Americans
Europe have funnelled tons of weapons (especially Germany and Poland) into Ukraine

And there was NO grovelling
This is the figment of you and the other right wing ppl imaginations

Even when Washington was singing discordant tunes, Europe plus Canada STILL stood by Ukraine

So again, your narrative about this is inaccurate (to be polite)

What logistical capabilities does Russia have to support a campaign in UK
Seems like you have no military knowledge

All Britain needs to do (very easy) is to cut the supply lines and the Russians who dare come to the shores of UK will be dead meat (that is if they even make it here)

Ukraine is using the same tactics against the Russians and their logistical weaknesses have been exposed

Israel is concerned about the safety of Gazans that is why they make announcements to them to leave the area before bombings through fliers, public microphones and text messages

Their biggest markets still remain US.
US has a population about half of Europe yet has more purchasing power

Those rich people why will they want to stay where its a race to the bottom, a race to make everyone poorer
when they can take their money to where excellence and success is celebrated and not punished

The people UK want are those who are poor and helpless, The rich Europeans know this and flee to where success is celebrated

You can never argue with human foot traffic, people vote with their legs, Anyone can posture on the internet, yet American embassy is always filled with application of people who want prosperity and freedom
Please can you provide comparative data?

Average americans do not have access to affordable health care as their counterparts do in the EU.

And I have been clear with my stance..The folks who want to migrate to the US is mainly for higher pay.. nothing more nothing less.

BRUSSELS (AP) — European leaders have praised President Donald Trump for agreeing to allow U.S. military support for a force they are mustering to police any future peace in Ukraine — a move that vastly improves the chances of success for an operation that could prove essential for the country’s security.

The leaders said Trump offered American military backup for the European “reassurance force” during a call they held with him ahead of his planned summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday. They did not say what the assistance might involve, and Trump himself has not publicly confirmed any support.

That is what UK has become .. CRAP

That's due to include the signing tomorrow of a civilian nuclear power deal and a massive transatlantic tech agreement. At Windsor Castle, a chopper-sized personal welcome from the prince and princess of Wales and a gilded entrance fit for a king, a queen and an American president, as President Trump was greeted with the full royal treatment upon arrival in the United Kingdom.

That included 1,300 armed troops and a royal review of guards, all part of the largest military welcome for a state visit in British history. King Charles later escorted President Trump into the oldest castle in the world to view the royal collection.

This is very crazy talk

Europe alone would rather NOT shoulder the bill alone in Ukraine
The same way USA couldn't shoulder the bill or manpower/logistical costs of their misadventures in Afghanistan AND Iraq

USA and Europe are partners AND THEY BACK each other up
Well, they did until this knuckleheads took over in Washington DC.

Europe held the ground for USA in Afghanistan and especially Iraq
Even Ukraine fought and donated troops (and lost troops) at the behest of the USA

So again, the argument is bollocks

The reason why America didn't directly burn Syria to the ground AFTER the chemical attack Obama warned against was BECAUSE Britain, America wingman backed out (in Obi's voice, GO AND VERIFY)

All these your takes are so funny
