More Chinese students go on overseas study tours
CHINA'S NEED OF TALENTS
Being the world's second largest economy, China is hungry for talent in all aspects.
According to the "Outline of China's National Plan for Medium and Long-Term Education Reform and Development (2010-2020)" issued by the MOE in July 2010, China called for more international communication and cooperation in order to give the country's young men and women international horizons, making them better understand international rules, and join the world's competition.
The MOE also encourages primary and middle schools to put short study tours in student curricula.
Other than sending Chinese students abroad, China also welcome overseas professionals to visit the country.
In 2008, China launched a national recruitment program for top global talent, called the "Thousand Talent" program, as part of efforts to become an innovation-driven economy. The program encourages overseas Chinese and foreign professionals to work in China.
