Zhang Yimin, a professor of finance at China Europe International Business School, said that a group of returnees represented by these three people are leading China in making major breakthroughs in technology in key areas of the semiconductor industry.
In fact, not only in the high-tech field, various industries in mainland China today can see more and more students returning to China to start their own businesses and employ international students. The network has even emerged as such: 'More than seven years ago, China sent seven people to study abroad. , Welcome back one person; Now, send seven back eight, with family members. '
According to the statistics of the Ministry of Education of China, the number of returned overseas students in 2016 was 432,500, an increase of nearly 60% compared with five years ago. This has also led to a shrinking of the 'talent deficit' of overseas students returning from China and the number of students leaving the country. 544,500 people.
The media estimated that the number of returnees to mainland China will even exceed the number of students studying abroad by 2017. As of 2016, the number of mainland returnees has exceeded 2.65 million, of whom about 81% have master's degrees and 11% have doctoral degrees.
One of the main reasons for returning a large number of overseas students is that in recent years the mainland has sought to attract talented people from the central government to local places and have all kinds of attractive preferential policies in return for employment, entrepreneurship and even life. For instance, in 2018, Entrepreneurial start-up back to support the plan, the highest selected project can get 500,000 yuan grant.
Although returned overseas students have become a trend, Premier Li Keqiang's report on the work of the government this year still proposes that the incentive measures for highly-skilled personnel will be expanded to encourage returned overseas students to come back for innovation and entrepreneurship while broadening the 'green channel' for foreign talents, hoping to ' Set wisdom Chi together "ran out of China's innovation 'acceleration.'
