Local firms target Chinese scientists from Silicon Valley

Race on to hire expertise, researchers with big salaries to boost AI and other tech sectors

Chinese companies are actively targeting overseas scientists and researchers in California's Silicon Valley, in a move to attract them to China and boost the development of the country's information technology industry, according to a recent report.

The quarterly report for October to December, released by Hays, a leading global specialist recruitment group, shows that the rapid development of the country's IT industry is providing golden opportunities for well-educated overseas Chinese nationals to seek developing their careers back in their home country.
