Talented Chinese students studying abroad will be offered a
range of sweet deals to lure them back home after their
studies.
Returned graduates in high-demand fields such as basic sciences,
engineering, finance and management, will be allowed to work
without residency restrictions, personnel quotas and pay limits,
according to a document jointly issued by 16 ministries.
The policy also applies to graduates with skills that China
urgently needs, according to the document published on the website
of the Ministry of Personnel on Thursday without further
details.
It is understood the students will be able to work and live
freely even in major cities like Beijing and Shanghai, where a
strict residency control policy is in place to prevent mass
population flow.
Graduates are encouraged to introduce advanced foreign
technologies and help establish hi-tech enterprises, the document
said.
It is also said that the government will provide special funds
to attract high-level graduates, and simplify procedures at border
entry and exit points for them.
Even the students' children face the prospect of getting special
benefits while enrolling in Chinese universities.
