China and the United States have both agreed to extend their visa validity to 10 years during 2014 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Meeting（APEC），which is expected to effectively enhance the exchange of talent between the two countries. Such simplified talent visa application procedures should be promoted by China with other developed nations，such as Canada，which have already granted a 10-year visa validity to Chinese citizens，in order to remove the barriers for global talents to come to China.
