China is set to launch a new visa program aimed at attracting foreign tech talent, as a new U.S. visa policy prompts would-be applicants to scramble for alternatives.

This is so terribly depressing. As an army brat, I always looked towards the US military as a good thing, always an essential bulwark defending the USA … to see it used as a tool by anti-democracy plutocrats is deeply disturbing. … www.nytimes.com/2025/08/13/o...
