China will ‘exhaust all means’ to lure global talent, Xi says

President Xi Jinping says China’s push for technological independence ‘must not mean self-isolation’ and more effort is needed to lure top professionals in the fields of science and tech.

China is calling for more global talent to bolster technological innovation and national power, amid growing concern from foreign investors that Beijing’s “dual-circulation” strategy might turn it further inward and hamper international collaboration.

China will “exhaust all means” to recruit intelligent and innovative professionals from around the world, President Xi Jinping said in a speech to a key national talent work conference in September.

The transcript, published on Thursday on Qiushi, a state journal covering the Chinese Communist Party’s governing philosophy, laid out a specific timetable for China to become a world power in science and technology within two decades.

“The emphasis on independent cultivation of talent must not mean self-isolation,” Xi said.

“China needs participation of global talent, while its development also provides opportunities for global talent.”


Xi said China must implement more proactive policies to lure top professionals, which are in short supply, and form a “talent system with global appeal and competitive advantage”.

With generous funding and high-level jobs, China has long been seeking scientists from abroad, including from Japan.

In September, Dr Akira Fujishima, a chemist and the “father of photocatalysis”, joined the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology. The university and Shanghai government will make a multimillion yuan investment to set up a research institute for his team.

Dr Mikoshiba Katsuhiko joined ShanghaiTech University in 2019 to continue his research in molecular neurobiology.

Shuai Ke, previously a tenured professor of biological chemistry at UCLA, also joined Nanjing University in July as the tech rivalry between China and the United States deepened.

Xi’s speech was made amid growing concern that China’s “dual circulation” strategy, which focuses more on domestic consumption and aims to boost self-sufficiency in hi-tech manufacturing, may squeeze participation of foreign companies and expertise.

China’s harsh border restrictions prompted by the coronavirus pandemic have been sharply criticised by international business groups and have increased the risk of losing foreign experts, potentially deepening its talent problem.

Xi also stressed the importance of clearing institutional and bureaucratic barriers to build a system that cultivates and incentivises talent.

China will build an army of young tech professionals, who are at the moment hindered by limited leadership and promotion opportunities, as well as general living pressure, Xi said.

“Studies show that age 25 to 45 is the best time for scientists to invent and create, but a lot of talented young people are investing too much energy into academic title evaluations and project applications, while facing many practical difficulties such as housing and children’s admissions to schools. The focal point for cultivating strategic talent should be placed on technology,” Xi said.

Special policies and flexible measures should be provided to people with skills, and “failures should be permitted and forgiven”, he said.

Support to develop tech talent was also stressed during the central economic work conference last Friday, which included drafting a decade-long agenda to conduct fundamental research, reorganising major science labs across the country and continuing international cooperation on technology.

A host of foreign workers with European companies operating in China remain stranded outside the country due to travel restrictions, according to a report published earlier this year by the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China.

This is a smart move. Its time china moved on from its zero cases management of covid and start allowing people to come in.

Honestly, judging by ground developments, this is difficult to believe. I have doubts China is now able to retain existing ones. Those shut out of China have left once they have equal or better alternatives in other countries.

This is what I have been saying for the last year and now you are hearing it from Xi Jinping himself just echoing what I have been saying this feels like deja-vu..

I have told the laymen on this forum that in tech developments you gotta hit the jackpot with superkids or you gotta be better at luring them in.. But all the tech you see today in the world was build by only approx 1000 people from the telephones and everything since Tesla to today. The knowledge property is with rare gifted people they are the commodity itself.. The US managed to beat USSR because it was better at attrating this talent from worldwide pool where as Russia suked at this.. A country with brain drainage will be defeated by the country that has flowing access to a larger pool.. The US was even shipping in talents from Africa because this rare gift doesn't know races or gender but the key element and the winner will always be he who can spot them and track them down.

What do I mean by hitting jackpot with superkids?

1. If Allah wants he can make women give birth to many superkids under your border but still you gotta learn to spot them and keep your commodity because they are the highest value commodity and this should be highest national interest priority.

2. Learn to lure these others from around the world outside of your borders

But ideally go for both

The United States has struggled for the past 70 years to develop a society in which people of all races and national ethnicities could feel genuinely included and thrive creatively. It is exceedingly difficult. I can't imagine China achieving any meaningful level of multicultural inclusion in the remaining lifetime of Xi, or his next five successors.

I don't think they are seeking multiculturalism but rather just luring talent aka the 20-50 superkids gifted creatively.. These are commodities that China will do everything to gain or get hold of

China is mainly targeting oversees Chinese.

are you a subject matter expert in any technology or science? if you are, then you'd know that this is blatantly untrue.

Not exactly.. China will target anyone who is gifted talent to come to china with financial luring in to eventually become part of the team that pushes the CCP forward.. If you can buy a commodity you will do it..

are you a subject matter expert in any technology or science? if you are, then you'd know that this is blatantly untrue.

It ain't untrue.. It is all about that talent. Everything we have today only about 1000 people made it possible and I mean the first inventions not upgrades

OK. There's more than 1000 products in existence. How many products were invented per person?

OK. There's more than 1000 products in existence. How many products were invented per person?

I mean the key areas and it is roughly around the 1000.. Example EL - Tesla and then there is the phone inventor etc etc.. Car inventor, train inventor etc etc.. I am not talking about upgrades just inventions...

Nuclear bomb- Inventor
Tank- Inventor
TV- Intentor

Etc etc etc.. You get the gist now and they are not more then approx 1000

This is one of the reasons why US tries so hard to defame China with their fabricated lies. Today's China is a very livable place, safe, convenient, modern.

I don't think they are seeking multiculturalism but rather just luring talent aka the 20-50 superkids gifted creatively.. These are commodities that China will do everything to gain or get hold of

Agree. Few talents won't change China's homogeneous status.

It requires a lot to create proper conditions for youth to contribute. The age group 25-44 has to manage marriages, young kids, housing costs in addition to doing cutting edge research. Govt and culture must try their best to make all these as easy as possible. Moderation in housing costs will help. A good culture which promote harmonious marriages instead of constant bickering due to hyped up expectations often caused by media will help.

Another easy route is to welcome immigrants - these guys are already super motivated and have sort out other issues or more committed to work than them. its foolish to give it up due to pathetic racial insecurities.

China and its society needs to adopt a way more open, more cosmopolitan and more inclusive outlook if it plans to lure non-Chinese or non-racially Asian talent to China in order to contribute to its development. Right now, Chinese society is still way too ethnocentric and insular to really be inclusive. A lot of foreigners don't want to spend their lives being a sideshow or having rural tourists want to take photos with them everywhere. China needs to develop a more universal value system where all human beings can identify with rather than maintaining this ethnocentric, insular mentality with a huge wall between the in group and the outsider group.

It is a huge challenge for all East Asian societies to be honest, these are among the most group oriented societies in the world. This has its pros definitely in promoting social cohesion and standardization, but the main flaw is that it fails to draw other groups under its umbrella. That is where the Anglo world far surpasses anybody else in doing.

That's why the Chinese govt engineered the collapse of Evergrande forcing a controlled demolition of the runaway housing industry and also reigned in other social issues like excessive tutoring and the 996 work culture, all of these were creating too many strains for younger people.

The anglo world as you call it benefited from large areas they recently colonized. I dont think UK is that friendly to immigrants. They arent doing that great there on average. Its basically us that has been the most benefited in this respect.

Yes housing prices must be moderated so youth can focus on jobs more easily.
