September 26, 2011 Category Macro-economy, Weekly
The city of Shenzhen opened a human resource liaison office in Brussels to attract talented European and overseas Chinese job-seekers. The government said it will offer a package of benefits, including affordable housing, a bonus and social welfare, for talented individuals in finance, culture, life sciences, logistics, new energy, new materials and other high-tech areas. The Brussels branch is Shenzhen’s fourth global talent liaison office, with the others in Los Angeles, Tokyo and Sydney. The offices are a part of Shenzhen’s Peacock Plan to attract foreign experts and overseas Chinese students to the city. Shenzhen’s Vice Mayor Tang Jie told China Daily that his city aims to surpass Hong Kong in five years in terms of economic output and hopes to transform it from a manufacturing and assembling center into a global innovation hub. Shenzhen plans to attract more than 50 pioneering teams with global influences and 1,000 renowned overseas individuals to work in Shenzhen between 2011 and 2015, said Li Ming, Deputy Director of the Shenzhen Human Resources Bureau. Shenzhen has also been holding China’s biggest job fairs for 10 years. The upcoming fair will be held on November 4 and 5 and is expected to attract thousands of people. “Three decades ago, Shenzhen was only a small fishing town with only one street, one traffic light, one traffic police officer, one park and one animal in the park”, Vice Mayor Tang said. “At that time we only had two college graduates in the town,” he said, compared with 70,000 foreign experts and 1.4 million college graduates today, the China Daily reports.
