TITLE: USA increase availability of visas for Chinese workers and students

Author: ZIJIN LIU

Zijin’s blog is talking about increasing of availability for chinese workers and studens staying at USA. Present Obama claim in APEC that the government plan to extend the chinese students visas to five years, and at the same time, business and tourist visas to ten years. There are about 1.8 million Chinese people visit USA last year. This progress bring lots of revenue for the USA government and provide lots of job opportunities. Also, with the increasing number of students studying in USA, their parents are eager to travel to USA to visit their child, staying as long as they can.

Zijin holds the opinion that this plan seems to benefit the chinese people, but it’s impact is much more than that. USA government gains lots of financial benefits from that procress. And I totally agree with his statement. In these servel years, Chinese economic boom up. And Chinese people become richer than before. With more incomes, most Chinese people start to presue higher life quality. Some of them chose to travel to developed country like USA to experience another life style. And they would like to buy things there because some goods sold in other country might be different and have higher quality. Thus, suppliers in USA will gain much more profit and pay more taxes for government. Also more and more students also bring lots of revenue. Instead of immigrating to USA, their parents could easily visit their children through the ten year tourist visa. Such behaviors could well stimulate consumption in America.
