Skills contest tests workers

World skilled workers competed in contests at China's first international skill competition in Shanghai last month, with 21 different skills from industrial milling to hairdressing on show. A total of 227 skilled workers aged under 22 from 35 countries and regions attended the competition.

China organized the event in preparation for Shanghai's scheduled hosting of the 46th WorldSkills Competition in 2021.

Winners of the China competition are eligible to enter this year's WorldSkills Competition to be held in October in Abu Dhabi.
