Chinese Vice Premier Li Lanqing called on in Beidaihe on August 8
more overseas Chinese and foreigners of Chinese origin to come back
to run business in China.
Li, who is also a member of the Standing Committee of the Political
Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the
call in his meeting with a group of overseas Chinese and foreigners
of Chinese origin at this summer resort, some 200 kilometers away
from Beijing.
Extending welcome to the group of professionals, Li encouraged
those who have already run businesses in China to further expand
their undertaking here in the future.
The group were here attending a two-day meeting to exchange
experiences among themselves and on presenting what they have
achieved in running business in China.
The meeting was sponsored by the Office of the Overseas Chinese
Affairs of the State Council.
Most of the people in the group went overseas to conduct advanced
studies after China's opening-up before working in foreign
countries. And about 80 percent of them have got doctorate.
Dubbed as "new migrants", they returned to their ancestral land to
engage in such new sectors or undertakings as information
technology, bio-engineering, finance, law, education and medicine,
contributing their bit to China's economic development and
scientific and technological progress.
