(ECNS) - The number of people from the Chinese mainland who have gained U.S. Green Cards has fallen for two consecutive years, according to the Annual Report on Chinese International Migration by the Social Sciences Academic Press.

The report, part of the Bluebook of Global Talent compiled by the Center for China and Globalization (CCG), shows that the number of Chinese who obtained United States Permanent Resident Cards in 2013 dropped to 71,798, from 81,784 in 2012 and 87,016 in 2011.

In 2013, 35,387 Chinese became United States citizens, an 11 percent increase on the previous year and accounting for 4.5 percent of U.S. total population increase that year.

Data from the U.S. Department of Treasury indicate that in 2013, 2999 people gave up U.S. citizenship, 221 percent up on 2012, among whom American Chinese accounted for about six percent.

Experts from CCG believe that the new visa policy of the U.S., where visas granted to Chinese can be valid for up to 10 years, may have contributed to the reduced attraction of becoming a U.S. citizen.

This will ease, to some degree, the negative effects of the outflow of talent and capital from China to the U.S., the CCG added.
