Abstract

In recent years, with the declining of population dividend in China, not only the "talent war" in major cities has been on the rise, the campaign for international talent has also been launched. Through comparative study, it can be seen that China's green card system lags behind in terms of legislative ideology, legislative mode, legislative technology, management mode and integration system. The reform of the green card system should first be guided by the demand for international talents, funds and technology, shift from the control-oriented entry-exit management legislation to service-oriented immigration legislation. The legal system of green card examination and approval management should be improved; a flexible green card quota system and occupation list be set up, and the restrictions on access conditions be relaxed; the employer nomination system be established and a scientific green card applicant evaluation and screening system be introduced to truly reflect the market demand for foreign talents. The release of Draft for Comments on Regulation on the Administration of Permanent Residence of Foreigner in 2020 sets the goal for the reform of green card system. However, there is still room for further improvement in the legislative ideology, legislative system, access threshold, legislative technology, and integration of green card system.
