The report was conducted and released by the Center for China and Globalization (CCG) and the Southwestern University of Finance and Economics’ Institute of Development Studies.
A comprehensive evaluation system was used to value a region’s competitiveness of international talent in six dimensions – scale and structure of international talents, and innovation, policy, development and living environments.
“With rapid economic globalization, China has become international talent’s new choice for long-term development and relocation and regional competition for international talents has begun,” Wang Huiyao, president of CCG, said.
