Cities' subsidized talent contest

THE GOVERNMENTS OF SECOND-AND THIRD-TIER CITIES are stepping up their efforts to attract new college graduates. Southern Metropolis Daily commented on Tuesday:

With around 7.95 million students expected to graduate this year, cities are competing to attract the best graduates by offering favorable policies from household registration to affordable housing.

Apart from top talents with glamorous educational backgrounds, innovative-minded graduates from across the country are being sought by more local governments.
