Last class, Raph and I, we talked a lot about immigration policies of America and China. It seems that American government like rich people to move to there. They require that my clients invest five hundred thousand USD in American projects before they get limited visa. The visa only allow my clients to stay in America for 2 years legally. If you wanna get permanent Visa, you have to create 10 jobs after 2 years. However, I think that Chinese don’t really like immigration because we move other countries, which means we will live there and begin a new life for their whole life. The lifestyle is different from other countries’ people because some foreigners like stay in a place for a while and move to a new one.
