Market liberalization boosting talent attraction

China's opening-up over the past 40 years has not only driven global trade but has also added fuel to market liberalization, which is conducive to attracting overseas companies and talented personnel, said Stephan Howeg, chief marketing and communications officer of Adecco Group.

His comments came as China has been going full steam ahead in further opening up the economy in terms of improving market access and reducing tariffs in some key sectors.

"The great development that China has achieved in past decades is very important for trade globally, and for attracting companies to China to further liberalize the market," Howeg said.
