Yunnan’s talent attraction program hailed by foreign experts

The implementing details for the “Thousand Talents Program” of Yunnan Province were issued recently. Also known as the Yunnan Recruitment Program of Global Experts, the project is highly regarded by quite a few foreign experts working in Yunnan. They observed that the program provides strong financial support for bringing in talented individuals, which shows the province’s high priority of opening up, as well as its determination to attract skilled foreign workers.

As a high-end talents introduction program, the “Thousand Talents Program” will undoubtedly provide job opportunities for international applicants while benefiting local companies and industries. This, in turn, will help the overall development of Yunnan, said Zeng Xianfang, general manager of Yuxi Zerun Biotechnology Company. Zeng comes from the United States. Beginning his work in Yunnan in 2016, Zeng Xianfeng has been listed as a high-end foreign expert.

 “Agriculture is of special importance to Yunnan. The “Thousand Talents Program” identifies modern agriculture as a key development area, which will help blaze new fields of study for researchers and better put into practice their research achievements.” Li Dongxuan, an agricultural expert from South Korea, currently conducts rice research at Yunnan Agricultural University. He has been working in Yunnan for more than ten years and won various scientific awards given to foreign experts.

”The program reflects strong talent awareness in Yunnan Province,” said Yang Hongyi. He taught at Bath Spa University in the United Kingdom for more than 20 years, and now works at Southwest Forestry University in Kunming. Yang believes that through the implementation of the “Thousand Talents Program”, a new overseas talent development system will be created. At the same time, the programme will also have a positive impact on Yunnan in building innovative talent teams and optimizing the environment for future development.   (Yunnan Daily)
