    China appeals for skilled foreign workers

    China has appealed for 150,000 skilled foreign workers to help boost its economy.

    While the West may regard China’s educational achievements with awe, many Chinese see their universities as a disaster, prone to turn out graduates who can pass exams but lack any creative or entrepreneurial skills.

    A study by McKinsey, the international management consultancy firm, suggested that many Chinese degrees do not equip students for working in well-run companies.

    Of the 1.6 million young engineers in China, it reckoned only 10 per cent had the practical and foreign-language skills that would qualify them to work for a multinational company — a proportion repeated in other areas.

    By contrast, 25 per cent of Indian graduates were trained to international standards.

    Government figures suggest that some of the best students are choosing to leave for the West.

    In the last two decades, a million young Chinese have left to study abroad. Only 300,000 of those have returned.

    The authorities used the main English-language government newspaper, China Daily, to issue the appeal to the world for help in constructing its new society.

    Ji Yunshi, who is in charge of what the government still calls “Foreign Experts Affairs”, said China was short of expertise in information technology, energy saving, biotechnology, agriculture and was particularly looking to recruit people to the finance sector.
