East China Province Lures Students Studying AbroadEast China's Zhejiang Province, one of the country's economic powerhouses, has decided to take in more talented people from Chinese students studying abroad as part of its effort to improve the local economy.Chen Zhongfang, director of the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Personnel, said that experts and professionals in areas like finance, education, export-oriented economy, business administration, machinery, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and electronics industry are especially welcome. Several recruiting teams will be sent to the United States and Canada in May, Chen said. A fair will also be held this year in Zhejiang for Chinese students studying abroad to display and sell their scientific research results, Chen added. Zhejiang, which ranks fourth in China in terms of gross domestic product, has set the goal of leading the country in realizing modernization. The province has taken a series of measures to ease the shortage in talented people since last year, including releasing preferential policies and establishing industrial parks for students studying abroad. Official statistics show China has had about 300,000 students studying in foreign countries. |
