Gates: the US strict visa system will harm the U.S. software industry

On August 18, February 1, Beijing time, a message was reported that at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Microsoft founder Bill Gates severely criticized the United States for its strict visa system, the United States's strict visa system has led to a decline in the number of foreign students studying computer science in the United States, which is very serious enough to damage America's position in the global software industry.

Gates said that the United States used to be a "magnet for global talent", but after the "9.11", the United States has implemented increasingly strict immigration systems, "The percentage of Asian talent employed by Microsoft has dropped by 35%, which is terrible."

Gates pointed out that the proportion of talent in emerging markets like China and India is very different from that in the United States. In China and India, 40% of students graduated from engineering, which is only 4% in the United States. To some extent, American software and other fields depend heavily on the input of foreign talents. (Sina Technology)
