因疫情失业身份不保,一条救急的冷门规定

/ 0 Comments

新冠疫情目前在全球蔓延,截止到今天发文时,美国的确诊病例已经超过50万。同时,由于新冠疫情引发的经济震荡也已经初现端倪,美国的失业人口显著增加。根据《财富》杂志最新的估计,失业率已经达到14.7%,仅4月4日一周就有660万人申请失业补助。[i] 与之形成鲜明对比的是,在新冠疫情席卷美国以前,美国的失业率只有3.5%。据《纽约邮报》预测,即使疫情控制后经济复苏,美国的失业率可能也将在6%-10%之间浮动,持续到2021年。[ii]

如何看待“中国绿卡”新规?

/ 0 Comments

2020年2月27日,中国司法部发布的《外国人永久居留管理条例》(征求意见稿)(以下简称《条例》)在网络上引起剧烈反响。网友们对《条例》有褒有贬,一时间众说纷纭。

在此之前,坊间曾有戏言,“中国绿卡”全世界最难拿。从数据来看,确实可以看到“中国绿卡”每年给出的数额很少。在开放“中国绿卡”之初的几年间,中国每年通常发几百张绿卡。[i]同样的大体量经济体美国,每年发放绿卡数目在100万张左右,其中人才类的绿卡有14万张。[ii]当然,美国原本是个移民国家,不可完全参照。不过我们也大约可以从数据中,看到中国绿卡的珍稀程度。
