Regional disparity in attracting foreign talent to China is highlighted by survey results released on Wednesday showing that inland areas have a long way to go in attracting professionals from overseas. All 10 of the cities considered the most attractive by expatriates are in eastern China, the survey shows. The top 10 comprises Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou and Qingdao, according to the survey. It was conducted by the Beijing magazine International Talent Monthly and the China Association for International Exchange of Personnel. In the previous two surveys in 2011 and 2017, cities in eastern China also topped the list. About 72,000 expatriates and English-speakers took part in this year's survey through questionnaires or by voting on the China Daily website. |
