Huawei's honeypots for talent reflect competitive reality

HUAWEI, CHINA'S TELECOMMUNICATIONS GIANT, is in the public eye again. This time for the high salaries it is paying to some newly hired college graduates. Beijing News comments:

Eight doctoral graduates are among those at the top of the company payroll for new employees, with their annual salary ranging from about 1 million yuan ($145,300) to 2 million yuan.

While the public's attention has been captured by these eight young people who have become almost instant millionaires on joining the company, few have considered why they might be worth the money and how they stand out from their peers.
