High-end talent needed to enhance business ventures overseas

Chinese enterprises "desperately need" a large number of business and managerial talents for realizing their "Going Global" strategies, Wan Jifei, chairman of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, said on Thursday.

And cultivation of high-end, interdisciplinary managerial talents requires a stronger boost from both the government and businesses, Wan, also a senior political adviser, told China Daily on the sidelines of the ongoing annual two sessions.

Wan, a member of the Standing Committee of the CPPCC National Committee, made the remarks at a time when a growing number of Chinese business owners are faced with looming challenges as they are tapping into overseas markets.
