Strategy to make China a talent-strong country
The CPC and the state have attached importance to human resources development since the late 1980s. A large number of outstanding personnel have emerged in various fields and become a driving force in China's socialist modernization. A national strategy of making China talent-strong has been devised and implemented in the 21st century.
A national plan of action to develop a quality workforce (2002-2005) was released by the central authorities in May 2002, which included a strategy of invigorating the country through human resource development. In December 2003, a national work meeting on human resources made arrangements for speeding up the implementation of the strategy. Talent development was underscored at the Party's 17th National Congress in 2007 and 18th in 2012. It was also incorporated in the report to the 19th CPC National Congress in 2017 as one of the seven strategies for completing the process of building a moderately prosperous society. The report stated, "People with talent are a strategic resource for China as it endeavors to achieve national rejuvenation and stay ahead in international competition. We must follow the principle of the Party exercising leadership over personnel, assemble the best minds across the land and draw fully on their expertise, and step up efforts to make China a talent-strong country."
The strategy values human resources as of national importance. It underpins the vision that talent should be cherished as the primary resource, and encourages the creation of favorable conditions whereby talented people emerge in great numbers and put their talents to best use. This will help enhance China's core competitiveness and composite strength, and guarantee the building of a moderately prosperous society and the realization of the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation.
