Wuhan talent campaign draws more than 205,000 graduates

Wuhan, capital of Hubei province, is boosting its campaign to attract talent by providing more affordable housing and job offers for college graduates.

Over 205,000 college graduates have settled down in Wuhan during the first nine months of the year. Among them, 137,000 are this year's graduates, an increase of 18.7 percent over the same period last year, according to the local government.

In February, the city announced a plan to attract 1 million university graduates in the next five years by offering such things as more easily obtained residency permits and lower housing prices.
