Integration will bring opportunity for overseas talent

The integrated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region will offer new opportunities for overseas returnees who want to start businesses in China, said officials from the three areas.

Yuan Fang, director of the Beijing Overseas Talents Center, said the capital is trying to attract more high-end talent from overseas to work in Beijing or to start their own businesses there. Each will get 1 million yuan ($166,000) as a one-time payment.

Pan Yanjun, from the Tianjin Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs, said Beijing and Tianjin are complementary in overseas talent recruitment.
