Immigrant policy to adopt skill wish list

China Daily  

A list of skills the country needs most and a points-based assessment system for applicants will feature in China's policy on skilled immigration, a senior official said on Monday. Wang said the current migration policy discourages foreign talent from coming to study or work in China, adding that the country has only issued about 5,000 "green cards" to foreign applicants in the past 10 years since the permanent residency policy was introduced in 2003. It urgently needs to adopt a flexible approach to improve migration policy to attract global talent," he said. Demetrios Papademetriou, president of the Migration Policy Institute, a think tank in Washington DC, said immigration policymaking is a complex process and decision-makers should adapt quickly to changing circumstances.
