Hangzhou's power to attract overseas talent is increasing

The eastern city of Hangzhou, which is the base of e-commerce giant Alibaba and was the site for last year's G20 Summit, has shown growing appeal to overseas talent, although Shanghai and Beijing remain the top globalized job markets on the Chinese mainland, according to a report released on Tuesday.

The ratio between overseas Chinese who went to Hangzhou for work last year and those who left the city tops all mainland cities, according to the report, which was based on last year's user data of LinkedIn, a US-based networking website. Hangzhou got a score of 99.25 for this indicator, while Shanghai was given 93.44 and Beijing 77.38.

Hangzhou also ranked third in offering the most desirable job opportunities, following Beijing and Shanghai. LinkedIn defined the Top 50 jobs - such as data engineer and business analyst - that are desired by people around the world based on factors including salary, promotion opportunities and job openings.
