Policies aimed at luring success back home

Last year Ouyang Yun followed the route of many other successful young professionals in China, and returned home to start his own business.

Originally from Guiyang, the capital of Guizhou province, the 39-year-old in September became the general manager of Guizhou-Cloud Big Data Industry Co Ltd, a specialist big-data management and industry development outfit.

"Starting a business where I was born seems to be a Samsara," said Ouyang, referring to the repeating cycle of birth, life and death often referred to in many religions.
