On Monday, during the first day of his trip to China, President Barack Obama announced a new policy on visas between the U.S. and China.

Originally, U.S. visas such as business visas and student visas were only valid for one year.

Under the new policy, business and tourist visas will now be valid for up to ten years. Student and exchange visas will be valid for five years.

The new visa policy could bring more international students to U.S. schools, as well as increase trade.
