K 签证会让外国人抢走我们的饭碗吗？
Will K visas cause foreigners to take our jobs?
自 10 月 1 日起，中国面向外国青年科技人才推出的 K 字签证正式落地，这一举措迅速成为全球焦点。
Since October 1st, China's K visa, launched for foreign young scientific and technological talents, has been officially implemented, and this measure has quickly become the focus of global attention.
当下，部分国家正采取人才政策收缩、甚至排挤国际人才的做法，中国却逆势而为，主动优化人才吸引策略，精准抓住了全球人才流动的重要机遇，其对中国长远发展的推动作用值得期待。不过，围绕这一新政策，仍有一些误解滋生，不实言论也引发了公众不必要的焦虑，亟需厘清。
While some countries are adopting policies that restrict talent and even exclude international talent, China is bucking the trend by proactively optimizing its talent attraction strategies and seizing significant opportunities in the global talent flow. Its potential for boosting China's long-term development is highly anticipated. However, misunderstandings surrounding this new policy continue to simmer, and misinformation has caused unnecessary public anxiety, which urgently needs to be clarified.
有一种声音认为，“国内人才储备已足够充足，无需再引进外国人才。”
There is a view that the domestic talent reserve is already sufficient, and there is no need to introduce foreign talents.
中创侨智认为，这种认知显然存在局限。纵观历史，凡是能集聚顶尖人才的国家，往往能在全球发展竞争中占据先机。如今的中国正加速融入世界，对各类人才的需求比以往任何时候都更为迫切。尽管中国的人力资源总量与科研人员规模均居全球首位，但高层次人才仍处于稀缺状态 —— 仅制造业领域，据测算，到 2025 年人才缺口就可能接近 3000 万。由此可见，吸引全球优秀人才参与中国高质量发展，无论是对国家发展大局，还是对推动行业进步、激发创新活力，都具有重要的积极意义。
OTGEO believes that such a perception is clearly limited. Looking at history, countries that can gather top talents are often able to take the lead in global development competition. Today's China is accelerating its integration into the world, and its demand for various types of talents is more urgent than ever before. Although China's total human resources and the scale of scientific researchers rank first in the world, high-level talents are still in short supply — it is estimated that in the manufacturing industry alone, the talent gap may be close to 30 million by 2025. It can be seen that attracting global outstanding talents to participate in China's high-quality development is of important positive significance both for the overall national development, and for promoting industrial progress and stimulating innovation vitality.
也有人担忧，“K 字签证会对本土就业市场造成冲击。” 但事实并非如此，K 字签证的定位十分明确，主要面向科学、技术、工程、数学（STEM）领域的青年科技人才，且对申请者设有严格门槛：需拥有学士及以上学位，同时来自全球知名高校或科研机构。这类高层次青年科技人才本身属于全球稀缺资源，其来华发展更多是填补国内相关领域的人才空白，而非挤占本土就业岗位，中创侨智预估不会对本土劳动力市场产生负面影响。
Some have expressed concern that the K visa will impact the domestic job market. However, this is not the case. The K visa is clearly targeted at young professionals in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, and has strict application requirements: a bachelor's degree or higher from a globally renowned university or research institution is required. These high-caliber young scientists and technicians are a scarce global resource, and their development in China is primarily aimed at filling talent gaps in related fields, rather than squeezing out local jobs. OTGEO predicts that this will not negatively impact the domestic labor market.
至于 “可能引发移民危机” 的说法，中创侨智认为无根据。K 字签证的核心目的，是为外国青年科技人才来华工作、生活提供便利，本质上与 “移民” 的属性截然不同。此外，针对 K 字签证的配套管理机制必定规划完善，从制度层面确保了 “移民危机” 的担忧不会成为现实。
As for the claim that it could trigger an immigration crisis, OTGEO believes it's unfounded. The core purpose of the K visa is to facilitate the work and life of young foreign scientific and technological talent in China, which is fundamentally different from "immigration."In addition, the supporting management mechanism for K visas must be well-planned to ensure from an institutional level that concerns about an "immigration crisis" will not become a reality.
还有人炒作 “安全风险”，这类论调本质上是对自身发展信心的不足。中国早已是全球公认的最安全国家之一，这背后是健全的法治体系、高效的社会治理，以及前沿科技手段构建的防控网络。面对可能存在的潜在风险，中国拥有成熟的应对体系与足够的智慧，绝不应因担心风险而放弃吸引全球人才的机遇。更何况，中华文化向来兼具海纳百川的包容性与化解挑战的智慧，我们完全有底气秉持文化自信，以开放姿态迎接全球人才。
Some are also hyping up "security risks." This kind of talk essentially reflects a lack of confidence in China's own development. China has long been recognized as one of the safest countries in the world, thanks to a robust legal system, efficient social governance, and a prevention and control network built with cutting-edge technology. Facing potential risks, China possesses a mature response system and sufficient wisdom. Concerns about risks should not deter us from attracting global talent. Furthermore, Chinese culture has always been characterized by its inclusiveness and wisdom in overcoming challenges. We have every reason to uphold our cultural confidence and embrace global talent with an open attitude.
