China emphasizes openness to "outstanding talents" globally amid new U.S. visa fees.
Trump's $100,000 fee for H-1B visas aims to limit foreign hiring.
White House clarifies fee does not affect current visa holders.

Responding to U.S. President Donald Trump's recent proclamation establishing a $100,000 fee for H-1B worker visas, China conveyed its desire to attract "outstanding talents" from around the world. According to Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun, the nation is committed to welcoming professionals across various industries to enhance global economic progress, stating, "In the era of globalization, the cross-border flow of talent has driven technological progress and economic development worldwide," as reported by Newsweek, TRTGlobal, and AA.

Despite the implications of the new U.S. visa fee structure, Guo noted that China would not comment on U.S. visa policies. The announcement ignited confusion domestically and internationally, prompting the White House to clarify that the newly implemented fee applies only to new petitioners and not to existing H-1B visa holders re-entering the country. White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt assured that "those who already hold H-1B visas and are currently outside of the country will NOT be charged $100,000 to re-enter," according to Newsweek, TRTGlobal, and AA.
