China to continue making life easier for expatriates

China has emphasised its wish to continue expanding openness and convenience to expats wishing to live and work in the country.

As part of a speech given at a recent symposium, Chinese Premier Lj Keqiang reiterated the country’s wish to provide greater convenience and openness to all expats living and working in China's major cities. Li also extended his gratitude to those foreign expatriates who’ve shown genuine commitment to the country’s reform efforts as well as giving their considered opinions on the recent Government Work Report.

Also speaking at the symposium was New York University professor and Nobel Laureate Paul Romer, who told the audience China’s successful reforms were down to their stability, opening up and inclusiveness, adding the government use special incentives at universities and schools in order to open the doors of education to both rich and poor students. According to Li, inclusive growth across the massive country requires both job opportunities for all and a growth in full employment. Every student, he said, whatever their background, is entitled to both educational and vocational training.

Li also concentrated on the government’s efforts to encourage inclusive financing and its resulting capital flow to SMEs, as he considers small and medium-sized businesses to be the backbone of employment in China. Inclusive development, he said, is to be encouraged for the good of the community and the country. The premier added he welcomes all suggestions from foreign expat professionals as regards the construction of an ‘industrial internet’ – a key component in lifting China’s manufacturing industry as well as a platform for developing ultra-modern services across the huge country.
